Product description
Compatibility and support
Microsoft support for Office 2016 ended on 14/10/2025. The software can still be used but no longer receives security updates. For new workstations, we recommend a current version of Office.
Microsoft Office 2016 Standard is the streamlined perpetual licence for everyday office work on Windows and is supplied as a volume licence. You get the classic Office applications with no subscription and no expiry date – the product key and download link arrive digitally by email.
Who is Office 2016 Standard for?
For workstations where Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook are the daily tools and the Access database is not needed. Standard is the leaner edition alongside Professional Plus and fully covers everyday office tasks.

Optional: USB stick
On request, you can also receive the software on a USB stick. It is sent by registered post, within Germany only, and takes 2–3 working days. Shipping costs are included in the price. If you order with a USB stick, you receive the product key by post instead of by email.
