Which programmes are included in each Office edition, from Office 2010 through Office 2024, in one overview.

What does Microsoft Office 2016 Standard actually do?

It installs the 2016 desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, and Publisher on one Windows PC as a permanently installed suite. Office 2016 was the first release to add the "Tell Me" command search across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Visio, and Project, which is useful when a feature has moved between ribbons. It also introduced new Excel chart types such as treemap, sunburst, waterfall, box plot, and histogram, the Morph transition in PowerPoint, and SVG insertion across the suite. Unlike Microsoft 365, the feature set is fixed at the 2016 baseline and does not receive new functions over time.

Who is Office 2016 Standard best suited for?

It fits users who need a classic, offline Office installation including Outlook and Publisher on a Windows machine that does not need Access or Skype for Business. Typical cases are an office PC tied to legacy macros, templates, or PST archives that work reliably under the 2016 codebase, or a workstation kept off Microsoft 365 for policy reasons. Because Office 2016 Standard was originally distributed through volume programs, it is mainly chosen by buyers who specifically want the Standard app mix rather than the Home & Business retail bundle. If a buyer needs database design or unified communications, Office 2016 Professional Plus is the matching edition instead.

How does Office 2016 Standard compare to other Office 2016 editions?

The differences come down to which applications ship with each edition. Office 2016 Standard adds Outlook and Publisher to the core apps but does not include Access or Skype for Business. Office 2016 Professional Plus, also a volume edition, adds Access and Skype for Business on top of Standard. The retail Home & Business edition skips Publisher entirely.

Outlook	✓	✓	✓

What technical limitations should buyers know before choosing Office 2016 Standard?

Office 2016 is out of mainstream and extended support, which means Microsoft no longer ships security or feature updates for these apps. It also does not include Microsoft 365 services such as OneDrive cloud storage tied to a subscription, Teams, or copilot features that arrived in later releases. Office 2016 Standard does not include Access for database files or Skype for Business for unified communications. Outlook 2016 can still send and receive mail via IMAP, POP3, and supported Exchange environments, but newer authentication methods enforced by Microsoft 365 mailboxes can be a connectivity issue that requires the latest available 2016 build.

Office without a subscription: versions 2010 to 2024 compared
Comparison of perpetual Office versions from 2010 to 2024 to help match the right edition to a specific PC and workflow.

How does Office 2016 Standard differ from Microsoft 365?

Office 2016 Standard is a one-time, locally installed desktop suite, while Microsoft 365 is a subscription that streams continuously updated apps and adds cloud services. With Office 2016 you keep the same 2016 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Publisher, with no Teams, no included OneDrive storage plan, and no automatic upgrades to later releases. Microsoft 365 plans by contrast roll up new features, cloud mailboxes, and Teams into one recurring service. Buyers who specifically want offline, fixed-version desktop Office without a recurring relationship with cloud services pick the 2016 perpetual route.

Why a one-time Office purchase still beats Microsoft 365
Why a perpetual desktop Office edition can still be the better fit than a Microsoft 365 subscription, with concrete reasons.

Which Windows versions still work with Office 2016 Standard?

Office 2016 is the last Office release to officially support Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 through Windows Server 2016. It also installs and runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11, where it remains usable as long as the underlying OS is supported. This makes it a practical pick for older PCs that cannot move to Office 2021 or Office 2024, since those require newer Windows builds. Before buying, confirm that the target machine runs a Windows version that is still maintained by Microsoft, because Office 2016 itself no longer receives security patches.

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft Office 2016 Standard

Is Microsoft Access included in Office 2016 Standard?

No. Access 2016 is only part of Office 2016 Professional and Office 2016 Professional Plus. Buyers who need to open or build .accdb databases should choose Professional Plus or install standalone Access separately.

Does Office 2016 Standard include Microsoft Teams?

No. Teams is delivered through Microsoft 365 and the standalone Teams app and was never part of the 2016 perpetual suites. Office 2016 Standard ships with Outlook for email and calendar, but not with Teams chat or meetings.

Is Office 2016 Standard a desktop version or a cloud version?

It is a classic desktop Office installation. The apps run locally on Windows and store files on the PC by default, with optional OneDrive sign-in for documents. There is no streaming app delivery as in Microsoft 365 Apps.

Can Office 2016 Standard open files created in newer Office versions?

Yes. It opens .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files from Office 2019, Office 2021, Office 2024, and Microsoft 365. Features introduced after Office 2016, such as newer Excel functions like XLOOKUP or LET, may appear as compatibility placeholders and will not recalculate inside Excel 2016.

In the meantime, you can also find a short overview of the most important legal information regarding used software here:

We only offer product keys for the activation of the respective computer programs. This is not yet a license.
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 principle of exhaustion is normally met or the license is "used up" as soon as it has been lawfully placed on the market for the first time. 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.
With us you get access to particularly attractively priced used product keys from volume license agreements, which - from a legal point of view - are to be treated in the same way as parts of volume licenses at the initial purchase.
All brand names and brand logos are registered trademarks, the use of which is used here only for product description - the property right lies with the respective trademark owner.

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:

keys.express and keys.discount also provides a template revocation form. In order to comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient to send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation to Keys Distribution Ltd before the end of the revocation period.

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.
