asked on 

KMS Activation Office

According to MS documentation:
- KMS for legacy clients (Win7)
- ADBA for everything new (2012 R2, Win 10 etc)

What about office? Is the activation tied to the client OS?

If Office 2016 is running on Win7 can Office 2016 use ADBA or does it have to use KMS because of the legacy OS?

Ok, but what about this combination: Windows 7 (KMS) with Office 2016 installed (ADBA)?
Or is it Windows 7 (KMS) with Office 2016 (KMS) only.

Based on the different articles, it's the OS that decides not the Office version.
