Determining Outlook Version

  1. Open Outlook.

  3. Look at the "License" line and determine your version as follows:
    • Volume License 2016: Outlook 2016
    • Volume License 2019: Outlook 2019
    • Microsoft 365 Subscription: See step 4
  4. If your license is "Microsoft 365 Subscription", check if you're using the "New Outlook" view by opening the Outlook menu and looking for a check next to "Legacy Outlook":
