I checked with our MS Rep and maybe it is the type of Licensing we have, but we are Licensed to use either Office365 ProPlus or we can use Office 2013.

What does O365 ProPlus give you that Office 2013 does not? I was always under the assumption and we actually have Office 365 and are using Office 2013 with Lync and OneDrive on our desktops. I thought O365 Plus version was just the ability for updates you get. So if MS rolls out O365 2016 Version, it would either Auto-Update all your desktops or you would have the ability to choose to update all your ProPlus machines. I didn’t think there was any features/benefits between the two. I might be wrong. [Description: Description: photo] John Becht Network Administrator Delaware County IT Department 201 W.

My vote was to continue using O2013 but management felt like we might be missing out new features by not having O365. Feel free to give me information ammo to help me to change their mind ☺ From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Becht, John Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2015 11:00 AM To: ms...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:ms...@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: [mssms] RE: Deploy Skype For Business Why do you have to uninstall and install Office365? You can use Office 2013 with Office 365, only if you want the ProPlus version and if that’s the case you can just wait till Office 2016 Pro Plus and do it then.

We’re getting ready to transition from Office 2013 to Office 365. Unfortunately, we just finished our Office 2013 rollout back in June too – so now we have to uninstall 2013 and install O365… should be a fun process...

So you won’t be able to use Visio 2013 with Office 2016. I am SOOOOO regretting moving our licensing from traditional Office to Office 365!!!

You can’t mix. Same problem with people already running Project 2013 and Visio 2013 on their machines. Wondering if the new (Office 2016) version of Office 365 ProPlus will allow this though, since they might not share those common files.
