Description
The Office 2016 Pro Plus phone activation key is a budget way to activate Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus on one Windows PC. It activates through Microsoft's manual method, using an Installation ID and a Confirmation ID, and unlocks every app in the suite with no subscription.
What Is an Office 2016 Phone Activation Key?
Office can be activated automatically online or manually by exchanging two ID numbers with Microsoft. This key is for the manual method. Once the Confirmation ID is entered, Office 2016 Professional Plus is fully and permanently activated on your PC.
