I'm trying to reinstall my licensed 2016 Office for home and business mac version. (I purchased the office license from MicrosoftHUP in 2016) I went through MS website and verified my email associated with my Office 2016 mac license. The link from MS listed my license for the mac. Note: The steps to install the 2016 or 2013 versions of Office Professional Plus, Office Standard, or a stand-alone app such as Word or Project might be different if you got Office through one of the following: Microsoft HUP: If you bought Office for personal use through your company, see Install Office through HUP.
The updated suite includes redesigned, rewritten versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Each application now features a metro-style user interface, which brings the design of Microsoft's stalwart software package in line across all the platforms for which it's available.
A slew of new features have also been added, though the apps have yet to quite reach feature parity with their Windows cousins. Mac users can now invite colleagues to edit Word documents together in realtime, for instance, but crowdpleasers like Excel's Quick Analysis are still missing.
Microsoft Hup Mac 2016 Review
AppleInsider got an early look at the new suite in March, and we've been using them as our daily drivers since that time.

Microsoft Hup Mac 2016 Version
For now, Office 2016 for Mac is only available to users with active Office 365 subscriptions, which start at $69.99 per year. To soothe the inevitably ruffled feathers of consumers used to purchasing their software outright, Microsoft promises 'updates and new features for Office 365 customers at least once per quarter.'
Office Home Use Program
For those who still don't want to subscribe, Microsoft says that a separate version for standalone purchase will be available in September, though pricing has yet to be revealed.Coments are closed
