Starting Office 2016, whenever you install Microsoft Office 2016 you won't have the option to select which office application to install and not to install. This is actually quite bad especially those who are having small hard disk space on the C:. This happened to me as well. I really don't need all unnecessary things like Skype for Business, Lync, Onenote, Access and more. But the default installation will actually install them all irregardless whether i want it or not. On top of that, there isnt't any option also to specify the install location. Default installation path is at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\*.*". Why Microsoft? Seriously Why remove this option??
But the good news is, there is a Microsoft Office Deployment Tool where it is being used mostly by Desktop engineers for big companies where they can customize the installation folder and selecting which Office apps is needed to be install.

Make sure you install the correct version that you have purchased. Check back your license information on the Microsoft Office key.
For pirated version, ahem ahemm * activate KMS Activator* ahemmm *after install*** ahemmm ahemmm. No comment. Go figure it out yourself. I do not provide support for piracy. But i would recommend just go buy the license key. You can get it very cheap at Lazada website where some sellers are selling the OEM version of the license key and it is 100% legit. And the best part about it is, it is as cheap as RM20 - RM50. Seriously, just search for it. But make sure to buy from a reputable seller, otherwise there are many scam cases.
