We said, we've paid for a DreamSpark (Imagine) subscription and now we can't use it because of choices you have We are having the same exact problem at our school with MSI Volume licensing on Office and click-to-run for DreamSpark.Īnd, we got the same bull from MS Volume licensing saying it wasn't their problem, but hey, we could pay thousands $$$$ to install it that way. Related issue with MAK keys failing to activate Visio and Project 2016 from MSDN: This is a problem that is widespread, what is the best way to get a resolution to the issue? So far, our MS rep for licensing of Office 2016 said this was not their problem. Should MS update the Click to Run installer of Office 365/2016 to be able to use our Volume License key and activate against our KMS? Should Dreamspark/MSDN make an MSI installer available for Visio/Project 2016?Ģ. I was looking for assistance on how should this situation be resolved. The Click to Run installer for Office 365 does not activate against our KMS. The problem is that we are unable to install both pieces of software in lab computers because MSI installer and Click to Run installer cannot coexists on the same machine. Our department has a Dreamspark subscription which allows us to install Project and Visio 2016 on computers for non-commercial research and Our academic institution has a Volume License agreement for Office and the installers we are provided are MSI based. We have encountered a problem were we are unable to use both Office 2016 (MSI installer) and the latest versions of Project and Visio 2016 from MSDN.
