This key card will help you set up a Microsoft account from which you can download and install the software. But it cannot be used to extend or ‘stack’ more years to your account. It will reject the numbers from more of these keycards if you try them. You have to buy additional years from Microsoft, or any company authorized to sell them.

I have used Office 2010, and Office 2016 (which is what Office 365 installs) is similar enough to be easy to adjust to. And it seems smarter, and its obviously an improvement.

However, Outlook 2016 doesn’t like my SBS2003 Exchange service. Its at end of life, but its all I have. I have to configure outlook 2016 manually for pop3 and smtp. If you select the automatic ‘Exchange’ option of connecting to the server, Outlook will stop working. When that happens, you have to close Outlook, open the ‘Mail’ control panel and create a pop3 account, make it the primary account, then delete the Exchange account. whew!nnIf you have a current version of Exchange, you won’t need to worry. It works perfectly with those.

Office 2016 itself is very nicely done. It looks and works great in Windows 10.
