This can be skipped in most cases. If your department uses a tool such as Casper or LanDesk to push Office 2016 it may need to be repackaged as license issues were encountered during testing of a push. –Information on the issue with packaging can be found at: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/creating- an-office-2016-15-12-3-installer/ https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/creating- an-office-2016-15-12-3-installer/ 13
