Used Microsoft Office 2016 licences

Microsoft Office 2016

Used, but like new: a cheap Office 2016 license from Soft & Cloud

Microsoft Office 2016 is a widely used collection of tried-and-tested office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. With a used Office 2016 license, you can use all Microsoft Office 2016 programs permanently.

Functions of Office 2016

After downloading Office 2016, you can use Word to create professional letters and other documents, such as technical papers or websites, and edit them easily. Excel is a powerful spreadsheet application that allows you to prepare, evaluate and visualize data quickly and easily. You can also create dynamic queries and views, e.g. to visualize monthly changes in certain key figures.

With PowerPoint, you can create informative and dynamic presentations of any size in no time at all. Use numerous design options to present information in an attractive and understandable way and add dynamism to your presentations to captivate and inspire your audience. With Outlook, you can conveniently manage emails, contacts, appointments and tasks and always keep an overview. OneNote provides you with a modern digital version of the pinboard, where you can jot down your ideas and thoughts more quickly and easily than on a real pinboard.

Office 2016 Professional Plus also includes the desktop publishing software Publisher, the database application Access and the communication platform Skype for Business, which makes the file for Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus larger when you download it.

What is the difference between a used Office 2016 license and buying a new license?

When you buy a used license for Office 2016 software from Soft & Cloud, you acquire the same rights as any other buyer who purchases new Office 2016 directly from Microsoft. This means that you have no restrictions with a used license that you buy for Office 2016. You can use the software indefinitely.

You will even receive free updates and patches until Office 2016 support ends on October 14, 2025, according to Microsoft, as long as they are released. Previously released updates are usually already included when you download Office 2016, and if Microsoft releases more before the end of support, you can also get them for free.

The only real difference between a new and a used Office 2016 license is the price. At Soft & Cloud, you can purchase the licenses significantly cheaper than directly from Microsoft. In addition, Microsoft no longer offers licenses for older Office versions, so you will have to resort to the second-hand market anyway to legally license MS Office 2016.

Office 2016 Standard and Office 2016 Professional Plus in comparison

Office 2016 Standard already includes all the important programs you need in a business context: the word processor Word, the spreadsheet program Excel, the presentation software PowerPoint, Outlook for emails, contacts, appointments and tasks as well as OneNote as a virtual, infinite notepad.

Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus also includes Access, Publisher and Skype for Business. You will therefore need a little more time and storage capacity for an Office 2016 Professional Plus download.

Buy Office 2016 second-hand

Microsoft and other providers make Office 2016 available for download. However, you need a license in addition to the program file so that you can prove that you are using the software legally.

The ECJ and the BGH have established in various rulings that buyers of software may resell it if they no longer need the purchased license. Soft & Cloud buys used and no longer required licenses from companies (both for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 and for other Office packages) and resells and transfers the licenses using a TÜVIT-certified process. In this way, we ensure the necessary legal certainty when purchasing used software.

At Soft & Cloud, we only offer you original licenses from Microsoft, which you can purchase legally and audit-proof - and at particularly affordable prices.

Frequently asked questions and answers

What is Office 2016?

Office 2016 is a collection of tried-and-tested software such as the word processor Word, the spreadsheet program Excel, the presentation software PowerPoint and the email client Outlook. Office 2016 provides you with powerful programs that allow you to complete many business tasks more easily and quickly. A major strength of the software is that you can switch between programs very easily, for example to insert a table into a text document or a presentation.

What does Office 2016 cost?

Office 2016 is available in two editions. The Standard Edition does not include the desktop publishing software Publisher, the database application Access or Skype for Business, which results in a lower price compared to the Professional Plus Edition. The platform on which you want to install the Office applications (Windows computer or Mac) is also relevant to the price.

KCan you still use Office 2016?

Office 2016 is not the latest version, but it may still be worth buying and using this older version for cost reasons. The Office 2016 EOL (End of Life) specified by Microsoft is October 14, 2025. Office 2016 can still be used without restriction after this date, but will no longer be supplied with updates and patches.

Can I use Office 2016 without a license?

No, to use Microsoft Office 2016 legally, you always need a valid license. You can buy this used at a reasonable price from Soft & Cloud - legally and audit-proof, because we only deal with original licenses and have had our secure license transfer certified by TÜVIT.

What is the difference between Microsoft Office 365 and Office 2016?

Microsoft Office 365, now Microsoft 365, is a subscription model in which you rent rather than buy the software. You pay a monthly or annual fee for this, but can then simply use the software on any internet-enabled device without installing it. Office 2016, on the other hand, is software that you buy once and then use permanently and can sell again later if required.
