I have spent the last hour waiting in queue with Microsoft's online chat, only to find out that the technical team has experienced difficulties and the product keys are not able to be verified. Having been a MS Office customer since the days of Windows 95, I'm fairly shocked and disappointed.
Office Online Server can be downloaded from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Office Online Server is a component of Office; therefore, it will be shown under each of the Office product pages including Office Standard 2016, Office Professional Plus 2016, and Office 2016 for Mac Standard.
For customers whose licenses qualfiy for OOS, but cannot obtain it through the VLSC, the following actions are possible:
Purchase Microsoft Office Online Mac Version
- VL Open customers can contact their Support Center.
- Customers who purchased O365 online from Microsoft can submit a request from their Office 365 admin center or contact support.
