Office 2016

Question

Please could you let me know, if I can use my existing Office 2016 on my new computer, or must I buy a new licence?

Thanks

Regards

Answer 1

When you first installed and activated Office 2016 that licence should have become associated to your Microsoft Account as a digital licence online and it is from there that you can re-install Office without the need for a product key:

https://account.microsoft.com/services/

Do you find your Office 2016 licence listed on your account on that link.

Answer 2

You can use your existing Office 2016 on your new computer, provided that it is a volume licensed version and you have the necessary product key. If it is a retail version, you may need to deactivate it on your old computer before activating it on the new one. If you encounter any issues or if the license is tied to the old hardware, you might need to purchase a new license.
