Many Microsoft Office users have switched to the subscription-based Office 365 from the traditional Office products. However, a small number of PC users are still buying and using legacy Microsoft Office products such as Office 2016.

Office 2013 or the latest Office 2016 can be activated using a valid product key. If you have recently bought an Office 2016 copy or have a key of Office 2013 and want to check if the product key is valid without installing the Office and activating it, here are two easy ways.

According to this support page of Microsoft Office, Microsoft’s virtual support agent can now check if an Office 2013 or Office 2016 product key is valid. If the entered Office product key is valid, it offers download links to your version of Office.

    I OWN Office Enterprise 2007. I created a Power Point presentation yesterday and emailed it to several people. Only one could open it. That one uses Office 2007 as I do. In order to sell subscriptions for a steady income stream, it looks like M.S. has in its updates fashioned software changes to kill off customer owned functional apps in old Office suites. I’m getting that’s what their extensive updates since October were at least partially intended to do. First no support, then sabotage the usefulness of the customer owned property.
    The trend is irreversible. For a steady income for software, it’s going to be subscriptions only.
