Microsoft Office 2016 VL ProPlus English (x64) February 2022

Release Info

- Language: French (en-US)


- Channel: Volume License
- Version: 16.0.5278.1000

- Architecture: x64
- Proofing Tools: English, French, Spanish
- Updated February 8, 2022

Customized default setup (slightly modified using OCT - Office Customization Tool)

- Skip EULA
- Shortcuts - Office 2016 by default decides to put all of the shortcuts on the
start menu WITHOUT a subdirectory � splattered all over the start menu.
The included setup customization file place all shortcuts for Office 2016 suites
into a subdirectory Microsoft Office 2016, and Office tools into a subdirectory
Tools
- Default setup options- all programs and features will be installed by default,
except for Skype for Business * (Office 2016 ProPlus) and Office Telemetry **
(Office 2016 suites / applications) - you can obviously modify all setup options as
you wish

* Skype for Business (why you should not install it, nor accept to install it as an
'optional update' from Microsoft Update)

The thing is, default setup will install Skype for Business, whether the computer
has the Skype for Business client already installed or not.
If you choose to install Skype for Business from Office setup, it will run through
a Skype setup wizard, which prompts you to start Skype when Windows starts, install
Skype Click to Call, set Bing as your search engine and MSN as your homepage, and
then asks you to sign in.
Here's where the confusion starts. What account do I use? If you select Skype Name
and use your existing (personal/home) account it will configure the computer to use
two identities - Skype for your personal account and Skype for Business for your
work account. If you select Microsoft Account, it will create a new Live ID with
your work email address - something you probably don't want to do.

** Office Telemetry (why you might not want to share your data)

Telemetry Dashboard displays the file names and titles of documents in each user�s
Most Recently Used list, which might reveal personal or confidential information
about the user or organization. The names of add-ins and other solutions that are
used by Office are also displayed.

The telemetry agent collects inventory, usage, and other application data and
uploads it to a shared folder, where it is processed by a service known as the
telemetry processor and inserted into an SQL database. The Telemetry Dashboard
connects to this database so that it can show the usage of Office files, add-ins,
and solutions.

Bonus folder

- KMS Suite 8.7 (activates both Office + Windows)


- Classic Menu for Office 9.25 (adds Office 2003 type toolbars and menus to Office
2016)
- Office Tab Enterprise 12.0.0.228 (opens documents side to side)
- Disable/Restore 'Sign In' option in Office applications (reg file) - Source
- Disable/Restore Office 2016 Telemetry (reg file) - Source

Compatibility with previous versions

Microsoft has removed the ability to run parallel versions of Office with the 2016
release.
Part of the installer will search and remove any previous version and not permit
the operation of older components. e.g. an older version of Outlook 2013/2010 with
Publisher 2016.

In other words, don't mix Office versions.

Unlike the Click2Run editions, the Volume Edition does not offer updating the
