Possible to apply an Office Professional Plus 2013 key to Office 365 Business Install (or quick conversion to allow key usage)
Is there a way i can apply the Office Professional Plus 2013 key to the Office 365 ProPlus or is there a way i can alter the Office installation to allow this?
The client is reasonably large and spread over a large winding building so any suggestion to avoid having to visit PCs individually would be really helpful.
Thanks,
No, they are different versions. If you had office 2016 proplus then yes you could and perhaps with downgrade rights (if you have SA) use it for office 2013. In your situation you have to uninstall Office 365 and install office 2013
To soften the blow, i'd at least like to attempt to transfer the Outlook profile from O365Business to OProPlus2013 to avoid setting up the profile manually.
Since the profile was not showing in Controlpanel/Mail due to the different versions (16.0 vs 15.0) I've exported the registry keys from:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
I can now see the profile in Controlpanel/Mail.
I've entered "686c9881-008b-49f5-83ab-e
I've manually edited the connection details to include 'Anonymouse Auth' and 'Connect over HTTP' etc. but I am still getting issues connecting Outlook "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable".
From another questions on SpiceWorks, it would seem that what i'm trying might be possible, however, they don't give detail on how they achieved this in full.

If anyone could offer suggestions on what i might try, that would be really helpful. I'm keen to avoid bothering users for their Outlook credentials in order to configure Outlook from scratch if possible.
Thanks,
