Office 365 Build Versions

[Oswalda Shutte]

Thisis a history of the various versions of Microsoft Office, consisting of a bundle of several different applications which changed over time. This table only includes final releases and not pre-release or beta software. It also does not list the history of the constituent standalone applications which were released much earlier starting with Word in 1983, Excel in 1985, and PowerPoint in 1987.

Microsoft Office 2000 Personal was an additional SKU, solely designed for the Japanese market, that included Word 2000, Excel 2000 and Outlook 2000.[26] This compilation would later become widespread as Microsoft Office 2003 Basic.

As with previous versions, Office 2016 is made available in several distinct editions aimed towards different markets. All traditional editions of Microsoft Office 2016 contain Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote and are licensed for use on one computer.[56][57] The installation of retail channels of Office 2016 is Click-To-Run (C2R), however volume licensing channels Office 2016 are using traditional Microsoft Installer (MSI).

Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that makes sure you always have the most up-to-date modern productivity tools from Microsoft. There are Microsoft 365 plans for home and personal use, as well as for small and midsized businesses, large enterprises, schools, and non-profits.

Most of the Microsoft 365 plans for business, schools, and non-profits include the fully installed desktop apps, but Microsoft also offers basic plans with the online versions of Microsoft 365, file storage, and email. You decide what works best for you: Small business, Enterprise, School, or Non-profit.

Office 2021 is sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a single, up-front cost to get Microsoft 365 apps for one computer. One-time purchases are available for both PCs and Macs. However, there are no upgrade options, which means if you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you'll have to buy it at full price.

Microsoft 365 for the web is a free version of Microsoft 365 that you can use in a web browser. All you need is to sign up for a Microsoft account with a new or existing email address. Use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more for free on the web.

Get the fully installed and latest versions of Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook, and OneNote for Windows or Mac. You'll always get the latest features, new tools, security updates, and bug fixes. (PC users also get Access and Publisher.)

Securely store your files in the cloud and access them from anywhere. Get 1 TB of cloud storage. With Microsoft 365 Family you get 1 TB per user, and anyone you're sharing with will also get their own 1 TB of cloud storage.

Deciding on a plan can depend on your specific business needs. The Microsoft 365 plan chooser is designed to help you with this. The chooser will make recommendations based on your answers to questions such as the size of your business, your field of work, the devices you use, and what kind of features, IT support, and security you're looking for. See Help me find the right plan for my business.

You don't need to be online to use Microsoft 365 apps after they are installed and activated on your devices. However, you will need internet access initially to install and activate Microsoft 365, to install any updates, and to manage your billing. Internet access is also required to access documents stored on OneDrive, unless you install the OneDrive desktop app. However, after your Microsoft 365 apps (like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) are installed, you can use them offline.

No. There are benefits with saving your files to the cloud, but the choice is yours. With both Microsoft 365 and non-subscription versions of Office, you choose where you want to store your documents. The option is yours to save them to a local device or save them to the cloud using a service such as OneDrive.

You can even choose to store your files in the cloud, but continue to access them from your device whether you're online or offline. You do this by syncing your files to your device and making them available for offline access. See Sync files with OneDrive in Windows or Sync files with OneDrive on macOS.

I am trying to run a report on Office versions and found a report here -office-version-audit/ When I run the report all my computers show up multiple times, I am not great at SQL but I think it has to do with only showing unique assets but don't know how to modify the SQL.

I work at a community college and we have sccm clients running Office versions from 2003-2013. I have scoured the web trying to find a query that could accomplish this task, but with my lack of SQL knowledge and specificity of the statement, I couldn't find a solution.

I am struggling real hard trying to parse out computers with different versions of Microsoft Office. I am using the attached search as a test. Every time I run this search it pulls the wrong info in two ways:

1. It returns all versions of Excel.

2. It returns any app with a matching version number.

if you're trying to bring everyone to a current version of MS, look at @talkingmoose's Regex Current Version or Higher Script to get the perfect Regex. At least it saves me so much time. You might be able to get it to work in other ways also.

Just open terminal and sh /path/to/script/.sh 1.23.4 it will spit out how the final Regex was created, then just pop that in Jamf and select "Does not match Regex." to find all older versions below what you are looking for.

I don't think the regex is the problem. The search is reporting all installed apps within that version range, PLUS all installed versions of Excel. It's treating the search criteria as an OR search instead of an AND search:

Find all versions of 'Microsoft Excel'

OR

Find all application titles with a version 'from 16.17 to 16.99'

I have a version of Microsoft Office 2013 that is registered, and a newer one, Office 365, that isn't. In the program folder, the older version is in Microsoft Office/Office15 and the newer is in Microsoft Office/root/Office16.

The newer version is opening every file and application by default, which brings up a plethora of popups reminding me that my copy of Office is unregistered, and I can't use features. For obvious reasons, I want to use the version that actually lets me use Office programs for their intended purposes.

I would most definitely reset your office account password pre-hand. if you open office and click on account it will show you which account it is activated via, you can then reset the password for that account and access your Microsoft account.Warning: repairing office may trigger it to have you reactivate office.

Hi there! I currently have 2 versions of Libre Office installed. I already had the flatpack installed when I upgraded to Zorin 17. Normally I would just take that one off in the app centre but that one is v24.2. More or less a beta channel release with newer features.

As such, I'd like to go ahead and remove the 7.6 ubuntu native release since I don't need 2 of them and the one I have is working well.

Well, like I said, the one I prefer to keep IS the one from the store. That's the flatpack, and the only one that shows up in the softwhere store when I search it. I want to keep that.

The one I wish to remove is the one that Zorin installed when I upgraded.

When I look at my ZOS 17 fresh installation, I have LibreOffice applications from the Zorin repositories (APT) not a Flatpak. There is a Snap version too. Not sure where your Flatpak came from. I don't recall LibreOffice being Flatpak on ZOS 16.3 since Zorin has always had their own PPAs for key programs.

Hi Tes, Install Synaptic Package Manager, launch it (you will need to provide your login password for it to run), then search for libreoffice. It should not come back with any flatpak software. If it does show the packages for the one you want to remove it will have a little green square. Right-click these and mark for removal and click on Apply from the menu bar.

Personally, I like @swarfendor437's suggestion about using Synaptic Package Manager. Can use the "complete" removal option and be assured of no excess traces of LibreOffice being left behind that way. On the same token, I have also used what @Ponce-de-Leon suggested in the past. That works well, too. Just remember to use the "sudo apt autoremove" (no quotation marks) after using the first command @Ponce-De-Leon provided. That will finish the job. Either option provided to you is viable. Good luck, @Tes. Please let us know the outcome.

Use this with some caution. Please take time to read the output it creates and be certain that items listed for removal are those you expect to be removed. Do not just hit Y in a hurry without reading the small print first.

Anyway, thank you everyone for all your replies. As an unfortunate turn of events, I think I had downloaded some malware off the software store (again) because for the second time, but root drive ran out of space in a matter of hours. This has happened before and after cleaning the drive, it filled right back up again by the next day.

This time, I couldn't even clean it. And then each time I rebooted, the computer got worse and worse until I couldn't even do anything on it. I couldn't restore with Timeshift because there wasn't enough disk space... it was just a mess. So in the end I had to wipe and reinstall (Thankfully my /home folder is on a separate drive). I lost my flatpak version of office, so I'll just keep the native one that came with Zorin at this point.
