I was using Office 2016 preview with no problem for about one month. The expiration was given to me of 180 days. I fired up Word and all of a sudden it locked me out, saying my trial period was over. I tried many times to sign in, and it simply would not let me.
So I uninstalled Office 2016, and I've tried to setup 32-bit several times and I keep getting an error:
Client Update Needed. Go Onlline for Additional Help.
Error Code 0-1028 (0)
And I can progress with the install. I always turn off Real Time Protection of the Antivirus via Windows Defender.
Thanks in Advance.

I've seen this problem in MSFT Answers, Technet & 3rd party forums ever since 2016 TP was available.
Here's what worked for me. I did a manual uninstall of Office. Please backup reg keys and subkeys when you delete.
I tried the Fixit tool several times; it was no help for me--no doubt it helps some.
Manually uninstall Office 2013/365 (Works on 2016)
Cheers.
