Join nowStop renting your productivity. Microsoft Office 2016 Home & Student gives you the three essential desktop applications — Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — with a genuine, lifelong licence that never expires. For students crafting dissertations, families managing household budgets, or anyone who simply wants reliable software without a recurring subscription, this is the definitive one-time purchase. You receive a full retail licence, meaning you own the software outright for use on one Windows PC, with no hidden fees, no forced upgrades, and no cloud dependency. It's the classic, ribbon-driven Office experience trusted by millions, delivered instantly to your inbox. If you need to write, calculate, and present with professional-grade tools, and you want to pay only once, this is the edition for you.
When you order Microsoft Office 2016 Home & Student from Lizensa, you are purchasing a single, genuine retail licence key. This is not a volume licence (MAK/KMS), an OEM key tied to a single machine's hardware, or a time-limited subscription. It is a consumer retail licence, the most flexible type for personal use.
Your purchase includes:
This licence is permanent and non-expiring. Once activated, the software will function for the lifetime of your PC. You can reinstall it on the same computer as many times as needed, for example, after a hard drive replacement or operating system reset. The licence is for personal and student use on one device.
Choosing the right Microsoft Office version depends on your budget, how many devices you use, and whether you need the very latest features every year.
One-time purchase vs. Microsoft 365 subscription Office 2016 Home & Student represents the classic, one-time purchase model. You pay a single upfront cost and own the licence permanently. This is ideal if you use a single computer and don't need cloud services like OneDrive storage or Skype minutes. In contrast, a Microsoft 365 subscription requires an ongoing monthly or annual payment. While a subscription gives you access to the latest version and allows installation on multiple devices, its costs accumulate significantly over time. For a user who needs Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on one PC for several years, the one-time purchase is the far more economical choice.
Which apps are included? This edition includes the core trio: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, plus OneNote. It does not include Outlook, Publisher, or Access. If you need a full email client or database software, you would need to consider a different edition, such as Office Professional.
Who is this edition best for?
Compatibility with older Office versions Office 2016 uses the standard modern file formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) introduced with Office 2007. You can seamlessly open and edit files created in Office 2013, 2010, and 2007. Files from much older versions (Office 2003 and earlier) can also be opened, though you may need to adjust formatting.
Before purchasing, please ensure your computer meets these minimum requirements for Microsoft Office 2016 Home & Student:
Language Support: This licence supports installation in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Japanese. You can select your preferred language during the download and installation process. We always recommend verifying the most detailed specifications on the official Microsoft website.
Getting started with your new software is a straightforward process designed to have you productive in minutes.
If you encounter any issues during activation, our free multilingual support team is ready to help. You can reinstall the software on the same computer if you ever need to reformat your hard drive or replace it. As a retail licence, it is not transferable to a new PC.
Finding a trustworthy source for digital software licences in the EU can be a challenge. At Lizensa, we have built our reputation on delivering a purchasing experience that is as reliable as the software itself. When you buy from us, you are choosing a partner committed to authenticity, speed, and your consumer rights.
Your licence key is delivered by email in under a minute on average, meaning you are never left waiting to start your download. Every key we sell is a 100% genuine, verified licence sourced directly from authorised European distribution channels. This guarantees not only successful activation but also your peace of mind. As an EU-based company, we fully uphold European consumer protection law, which includes your 14-day right of withdrawal and a comprehensive European warranty on your purchase. You will receive a full VAT invoice with every order, which is essential for business accounting and can be processed with reverse charge for B2B customers. Our checkout is secured by Stripe, offering a wide range of payment methods including SEPA bank transfer, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards. Should you need assistance, our free, multilingual technical support team is dedicated to helping you with any activation or installation questions.

This is a permanent, one-time purchase. You pay a single price and receive a licence that never expires for use on one PC. There are no monthly or annual fees, unlike a Microsoft 365 subscription.
A retail licence, like this one, is the most flexible consumer licence. It is purchased separately from the PC and can be transferred to a new computer if your old one fails, though it can only be active on one device at a time. An OEM licence is pre-installed on a new computer by the manufacturer and is permanently locked to that specific machine's hardware.
Your product key and download instructions are delivered instantly. On average, the email arrives in your inbox within 60 seconds of a successful payment. You can also find your key immediately in your Lizensa account.
Absolutely. Every licence we sell is 100% genuine, verified, and sourced from authorised European distributors. You will pass any software audit and receive full activation on Microsoft's servers.
First, ensure you have entered the 25-character key correctly. If the issue persists, contact our free multilingual technical support team. We can assist with troubleshooting and, in the rare case of a faulty key, provide a resolution.
Yes, you can reinstall the software on the same computer as many times as needed, for example, after a hard drive replacement or operating system reinstallation.
