What does Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus do?

Office 2016 Professional Plus is a locally installed productivity suite for writing documents, building spreadsheets, designing slides, and managing email and contacts. It includes Access for desktop databases and Publisher for newsletters, flyers, and print-ready layouts, which the smaller Home & Business and Home & Student editions do not contain. Excel 2016 added six new chart types including Waterfall, Treemap, and Histogram, and integrated Power Query directly into the ribbon as Get & Transform. Outlook 2016 introduced the Clutter folder and faster search through a new MAPI/HTTP transport. The suite is the perpetual desktop version, so files stay on the local machine and there is no required online sign-in to use the core applications.

Who is Office 2016 Professional Plus best suited for?

It fits users and small offices that need Access database files or Publisher layouts and want to keep working with a one-time purchase instead of Microsoft 365. A typical case is an office that maintains an existing .accdb database or .pub flyer template built in an earlier Office version and needs an editor that opens those formats natively, since neither Access nor Publisher exists in Office 2016 Home & Business. The suite also suits users with limited or offline connectivity, because the desktop apps do not require continuous cloud authentication for core editing. Outlook 2016 supports POP, IMAP, Exchange, and Microsoft 365 mailboxes, so it remains usable as a standalone mail client. Users who only need Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook can save money by choosing Home & Business instead.

How does Office 2016 Professional Plus differ from Home & Business and Standard?

Professional Plus is the most complete Office 2016 edition and is the only one that includes both Access and Skype for Business alongside the core apps. Home & Business contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook but no Access, Publisher, or Skype for Business. Office 2016 Standard adds Publisher and Skype for Business to that set but still leaves out Access. The table below shows the exact application coverage across the three editions so buyers can match the edition to the workflow they actually need.

What technical limitations should users know before buying?

Office 2016 reached the end of extended support on October 14, 2025, which means Microsoft no longer ships security updates or bug fixes for the suite. Connection to Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online mailboxes was already blocked for Office 2016 clients from October 2023 onward. The suite does not include Microsoft Teams, OneDrive cloud sync, or the AI Copilot features that ship only with Microsoft 365 and Office 2024. Skype for Business Online itself was retired by Microsoft in July 2021, so the included Skype for Business 2016 client is only useful against on-premises Skype for Business Server installations. Users who rely on hosted Exchange or modern collaboration should plan for a newer edition or Microsoft 365.

Which file formats does Office 2016 Professional Plus support?

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2016 use the Office Open XML formats .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx by default and still open the older .doc, .xls, and .ppt binary formats. Word 2016 can save and export documents directly as PDF without an add-in. Excel 2016 can import from CSV, XML, JSON, text, ODBC, and many web sources through Power Query, and Access 2016 works with .accdb and the older .mdb database formats. Outlook 2016 stores local data in .pst and .ost files and can import .msg, .eml, and .ics calendar files. Publisher 2016 opens .pub files and can export to PDF, XPS, and packaged print-ready formats.

What makes Office 2016 Professional Plus useful in daily work?

The combination of Access and Excel covers the gap between flat spreadsheets and structured data without needing a separate database product. A small office can keep customer records in an Access table, link the table into Excel through Power Query, and refresh reports without retyping data. PowerPoint 2016 introduced the Morph transition, which animates between two slides when they share objects, removing the need to build per-element animations for product diagrams or before/after layouts. The Tell Me search box in the ribbon finds commands by name, which shortens onboarding for occasional users. Real-time co-authoring in Word 2016 works on documents stored in SharePoint or OneDrive for Business, but only when those services are still reachable.

What should users check before choosing Office 2016 Professional Plus?

Confirm that the existing workflow does not depend on hosted Microsoft 365 services, since Office 2016 clients are blocked from Exchange Online and the suite no longer receives security patches after October 2025. Check whether Access and Publisher are actually needed, because Office 2016 Home & Business is significantly cheaper and covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. Verify the underlying Windows version, since Office 2016 mainstream support requires Windows 7 SP1 or newer and does not officially support Windows 11. Open one existing .accdb, .pub, or .pst file in a trial before migrating, to confirm the file format opens cleanly. Buyers who need ongoing security updates and modern Outlook connectivity should look at Office 2021 or Office 2024 instead.

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus

Is Microsoft Teams included in Office 2016 Professional Plus?

No. Teams was first released in March 2017, after Office 2016 shipped, and is not part of any Office 2016 edition. The Professional Plus suite includes the older Skype for Business 2016 client instead. Users who need Teams must install it separately or move to Microsoft 365.

Does Office 2016 Professional Plus still receive security updates?

No. Microsoft ended extended support for Office 2016 on October 14, 2025, so no further security patches, bug fixes, or technical assistance are issued. The applications continue to run, but newly discovered vulnerabilities will not be fixed. This is the main reason to evaluate Office 2021 or Office 2024 for new installations.

Can Outlook 2016 still connect to Microsoft 365 mailboxes?

No. Microsoft blocked connections from Office 2016 clients to Exchange Online starting in October 2023, so Outlook 2016 cannot reliably connect to a Microsoft 365 hosted mailbox. It still works with on-premises Exchange Server, IMAP, and POP accounts. Users with Microsoft 365 mail need a newer Outlook version.

Is Office 2016 Professional Plus a one-time purchase desktop version?

Yes. It is a perpetual desktop version of Office, not a subscription, and the applications are installed locally on Windows. There are no cloud-only features in the suite itself, and core editing in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook runs without requiring a continuous internet connection.

The license is formed only from the respective installation and the resulting acceptance of the terms of use. These terms of use regulate the right to use the software between you and the respective manufacturer.

The present offer is software which has been put into circulation for unlimited use in the form of an activatable product key with the possibility of downloading the program. Microsoft or the respective other software provider has received an appropriate remuneration for this.

3. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

For distance contracts concluded by telephone, on the Internet or when ordering from a catalogue, EU law provides for the possibility for consumers to withdraw from the contract for a certain period of time ("right of withdrawal"). A consumer in this sense is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. In Switzerland we usually speak of consumers.

Consumers have the right to cancel the contract within fourteen calendar days without giving reasons. The revocation period begins on the day the contract is concluded.

In order to exercise your right of withdrawal from keys.express or keys.discount, you must inform us by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter, fax or e-mail sent by post) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. For this purpose, you can contact us using the following information:

If you revoke this contract, we must reimburse you for all payments which we have received from you for the corresponding order, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs which result from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen calendar days from the day on which we receive notification of your revocation of this contract. For this repayment we will usually use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you. In no case will you be charged for this refund.
