LTSC or Retail: the difference

An LTSC version receives no feature updates: only security patches are delivered during the support cycle. It does not include the cloud features (real-time co-authoring, automatic saving to OneDrive) nor the artificial intelligence assistants. In return, the software's behaviour never changes — a decisive asset for production seats, industrial environments and sensitive business macros. The Retail version, for its part, is tied to a Microsoft account and more oriented towards online services.

What you need to know

Office 2016 has reached end of support: the suite remains fully functional and the file formats are compatible with recent versions, but security patches are no longer published. This licence suits older machines, offline seats and local office uses where budget is the priority.

Activation

The activation key reaches you by email within 24 hours maximum. Install the suite, open an Office application, enter the key in File › Account and activate online. The licence stays attached to this seat.
