We have used PowerPoint for all the screenshots. However, the same process should also work with Word, Excel, and other Office programs. Follow these steps:
- Run PowerPoint. If you see the Presentation Gallery, opt to create a new presentation, or alternatively open any existing presentation. Yes, you do not want to create or edit presentations now—but PowerPoint will not let you identify it under the hood unless you open a presentation first! We just created a new presentation, as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 2: About PowerPoint - You will see a dialog, as shown in Figure 3, below. Do notice that you can identify that this dialog is from a Retail License product, as highlighted in red. You can also find the version number of your installed product, as highlighted in blue.Does the version number, 15.21.1 (160411) confuse you? Don’t worry; we will explain what these numbers mean at the end of this post.

Again, you can also find the version number of your installed product, as highlighted in blue.
Figure 4: Office 365 Subscription LicenseAlthough Microsoft names their releases with nomenclature such as Office 2016, Office 2011, etc. — they follow a different nomenclature internally. Any version number that begins with “15” in the About dialog box indicates that you are running Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac.
Similarly, any version number that begins with “14” indicates that you are running Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 5, below.

Additionally, there may be other numbers after the 15, 14, or 12 in the About dialog box. Those other numbers indicate updates released after the initial first release. These links provide details about these updates:
Additionally, a dedicated PM on the Office 2016 for Mac team maintains the Release history for Office 2016 for Mac/Microsoft AutoUpdate page.
No Version 13?
Yes, you are right. The reason there is no version 13 of Microsoft Office for Mac is because thirteen is considered by some as an unlucky number!
