It’s not always totally clear what the difference is between Office 365 and Office 2013, or even whether or not there is a difference. Well, we’d like to clear it up!

Note that this post was written before the release of Office 2016, but the points about 2013 apply to both.

If Outlook won't open, try opening it in safe mode, which disables add-ins. Right-click the Start button, and click Run. Type Outlook.exe /safe, and click OK. Tip: If Windows can't find Outlook.exe /safe, try using the full path to Outlook (for example C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeXX, where XX is your version number). More on starting Outlook in safe mode and disabling add-ins. Office 2013 include applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. They’re available as a one-time purchase for use on a single PC. Microsoft 365 plans include premium versions of these applications plus other services that are enabled over the Internet, including online storage with OneDrive and Skype minutes for home use. With the latest changes in Office 365 Microsoft essentially removed all options to find out your Exchange server name thus making it impossible to configure outlook to use Exchange if auto-configuration failes eg your autodiscover. IMAP Synchronization Issues In Outlook 2013/Office 365 An Outlook application can cater to multiple accounts from different email servers like IMAP, POP, Exchange Server, and Office 365. The user should synchronize each account with the server and apply proper settings to be able to send/receive messages.

Office 2013 upholds tradition

In the past, Microsoft Office versions were generally denoted with a year, and referred to that way, too, i.e. “Have you upgraded to Office 2007 yet?” “No, I just can’t get used to the ribbon, so I’m going to stay with Office 2003 until my IT guy forces me to migrate.”

Office 2013 continues in that tradition and can be thought of as the “classic” Office suite: applications that you may launch from something like a desktop icon, available offline, and part of a continuum of familiar products that some have used for decades.

It’s possible to purchase Office 2013 as a standalone product, and some may choose to do so. Brady driver download for windows 10. However, it’s become more common for both personal and business users to have not just Office 2013, but Office 365.

Office 365 introduced the element of a subscription plan into the mix. Now, instead of buying the Office suite once and then owning that version forever, customers can subscribe to the cloud-based Office 365 suite and pay a monthly/yearly fee. Here’s where gets confusing for a lot of us: within some Office 365 plans, that monthly subscription includes installation of Office 2013.

Office 365 + Office 2013

In order to understand the relationship between Office 365 and Office 2013, it’s helpful to check out the plan breakdowns on Microsoft’s site. All Office 365 home subscriptions include Office 2013 at this time; that’s what “full installed Office applications” indicates.

When we look at Office 365 for business plans, we can see that some Business and Enterprise plans do not include “full, installed Office applications.” That means that users of those plans will be using Office Online, which you can read more about in the section below.

At the BetterCloud Monitor, we have an Office 365 for business subscription that includes 5 installs of Office 2013 per user. This option gives us a lot of flexibility. While one person might install Office 2013 on her work PC and home Mac and use those applications consistently, another user might prefer to consistently work in the Office Web Apps, or Office Online.

Office 365 without Office 2013

If you’re on Office 365 but your plan doesn’t include Office 2013, you’ll be using Office Online: Outlook Online, Word Online, Excel Online, and so on.

(Note: About a year ago, the Office Web Apps were rebranded to Office Online, but they are still widely referred to as Web Apps, which is why we often use that terminology here on the BetterCloud Monitor.)

These versions of Office products are stripped-down versions of the “classic” installed applications; for example, Excel Online does not have the full feature set of Excel 2013, but they are receiving feature updates and enhancements regularly.

So ultimately, comparing Office 365 and Office 2013 isn’t exactly a 1-to-1 comparison. You can have an Office 365 plan and use Office 2013 regularly, or you can have an Office 365 and only use Office Online. It will depend on both your plan type and your personal working style.

I’ve got an Office 365 subscription so I can install Office 2016, but since my company is still using Exchange 2007, I can’t upgrade to Outlook 2016 yet.

Can I install Office 2016 as part of my Office 365 subscription and a standalone edition of Outlook 2013 instead?

Although it used to be possible (but never really recommended) to install a mix of different Office versions and standalone applications, this is no longer supported when it comes to Office 2016.

However, you might be eligible for a free upgrade of a qualifying standalone Office application.

Office 2013 and previous

Up to Office 2013, you could mix your Office installation with standalone editions of applications belonging to a previous Office version.

The trick was to always install the older version before the newer version. However, from an Outlook perspective, you’d be missing out on some Office integration features but it was possible.

Examples:

Outlook 2010 can be installed alongside Office 2013 Home & Student.
Outlook 2013 can be installed alongside Office 2007 Professional when Outlook 2007 isn’t being installed.
Office 365 Home 2013 can be installed alongside Outlook 2010 (although not recommended as Office 365 Home 2013 also contains Outlook 2013).

Office 2016

The above is no longer the case when it comes to Office 2016 and any of the Office 2016 standalone applications. As soon as you install an Office 2016 product, all your other previous Office applications need to be uninstalled and upgraded to their Office 2016 edition as well if you want to continue to use them.

Examples:

Outlook 2013 can’t be installed alongside Office Home & Student 2016.
Outlook 2013 can’t be installed alongside Office 365 Home 2016.
Outlook 2016 can’t be installed alongside Office Professional 2013.
Visio 2013 can’t be installed alongside Office 365 Home 2016.

Free upgrade offer

Since this is a change of how it previously worked, Microsoft is offering a free upgrade for qualifying Office 365 subscriptions and standalone purchases of 2013 and 2016 retail versions of Office applications.

For more information about this offer see: Special offer for customers with Office 2016 and Office 2013 standalone applications.

This offer expires February 28, 2017 so make sure you get your upgrade before then.

Volume License editions of Office 2016

The only exception to not being able to mix Office versions is when you are using a Volume License edition of an Office 2016 application.

This is because Volume License editions use an msi-based installation instead of a Click-to-Run based installation. However, these Volume License editions can’t be combined with non-Volume License editions of Office 2016 applications.
