Microsoft Office 2016 Pro Plus – Product key (telephone activation)

This listing is for Microsoft Office 2016 Pro Plus with telephone activation. The suite is the same, but the key is validated through Microsoft's automated phone service instead of over the Internet. That route is useful when online activation fails, on a machine that has been reinstalled several times, or on a network that filters the web activation service.

What is included

• Word 2016: long documents, templates and mail merge.
• Excel 2016: calculations, PivotTables and charts.
• PowerPoint 2016: animated presentations and Presenter view.
• Outlook 2016: e-mail, shared calendar and task management.
• Access 2016: local databases and data-entry forms.
• Publisher 2016: flyers, brochures and business cards.
• OneNote 2016: a digital notebook.

How telephone activation works

1. Install Office 2016 and start the activation wizard.
2. Choose “Activate by phone”. The wizard shows an installation ID.
3. Give that ID to Microsoft's voice service, which reads out a confirmation ID.
4. Type the confirmation ID into the wizard.

The whole procedure takes about five minutes and needs no Internet connection, only a telephone line.

Good to know

Office 2016 is no longer covered by Microsoft security updates. Requirements: Windows 11, 10, 8.1 or 7 SP1, a 1 GHz SSE2 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 3 GB of disk space and a 1280 x 800 display.

Delivery

Odin Key sends the key by e-mail within 24 hours of payment, together with the activation steps. An official invoice is included, and support in English by e-mail and live chat is available if the phone procedure raises questions.
