By default Excel files will be locked by the user that has it open.
Other users that try to open the same file will just be able to do it in read-only mode until the first user has closed it.
Microsoft Office Home and Student 2016 Product Key Card - 1 PC. Type: Office Suite Operating Systems Supported: Windows Packaging: Retail System Requirements: Required Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster x86- or x64-bit processor with SSE2 Required Operating System: Windows 7 or later, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Server 2012 Required Memory: 1 GB RAM (32-bit); 2 GB RAM (64-bit) Required Hard. Microsoft Office 2016 (codenamed Office 16) is a version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite, succeeding both Office 2013 and Office for Mac 2011 and preceding Office 2019 for both platforms. It was released on macOS on July 9, 2015, and on Microsoft Windows on September 22, 2015, for Office. Most small and medium businesses don’t license Office as an “Enterprise Product” (because they don’t have an Enterprise Agreement) or on a company-wide basis (see this blog post for an explanation of a “company-wide” scenario). So if the primary user of the device also uses a laptop, then we can install Office on the laptop as well. With Outlook 2016, you can share files to your OneDrive files as you share and send them to other users. Create ideas with the help of a keyboard, mouse, pen, and touch through the Tell Me feature, that has been introduced with the latest software and programs such as Microsoft Office Professional 2016.
This can be a nice feature, but sometimes you want multiple users to be able to edit the same file at the same time.
This guide will show you how that can be done.
This how-to is based on Microsoft Excel 2016, but the same steps should also apply to Excel 2010, Excel 2013 and Excel 2019.

Save it in a directory where all the users that needs access has access to it. - Open the file and go til File ->Options.

Summary: Learn about the language packs and language interface packs that are available for Office.
An installation of Office 2016 can include applications or user interface elements in more than one language because some Office 2016 products are not available in every language.
This article describes the language versions that are available for a subset of Office 2016 applications, the Office 2016 applications that will work with Language Interface Packs, and the recommended base languages to install for Office 2016 Language Interface Packs.
Important
This article describes methods of deploying and managing language packs for versions of Office 2016 that use the Windows Installer (MSI) installation technology, which are available for enterprises through volume licensing. If you have an Office subscription and you're deploying Microsoft 365 Apps, which uses the Click-to-Run installation technology, see Overview of deploying languages for Microsoft 365 Apps.
Applications and language availability
In some non-English language versions of Office 2016, a specific Office 2016 application may not be available. For example, Access 2016 is not available in Hindi. Therefore, the Hindi language version of Office 2016 is installed in English.
Some Office applications are not available in some languages. Project 2016 and Visio 2016 are available in a subset of languages, as shown in the following table.

Language Interface Packs
For some languages, Microsoft localizes only some Office 2016 applications and releases them as Language Interface Packs (LIPs). These LIPs localize the user interface only, and not the Help content. Administrators must first install a fully localized base language version (see the table later in this section) of Office 2016, and then install the LIP. Users can then work in their preferred language in the following applications and features:
Excel 2016
OneNote 2016
Outlook 2016
PowerPoint 2016
Shared Office features
Word 2016
Skype for Business 2016, but only for the following languages:
Albanian: sq-SQ
Azerbaijani (Latin): az-Latn-AZ
Basque: eu-ES
Belarusian: be-BE
Catalan: ca-ES
Farsi (Persian): fa-IR
Filipino: fil-PH
Galician: gl-ES
Macedonian: mk-MK
Serbian (Cyrillic): sr-Cyrl-RS
Uzbek (Latin): uz-Latn-UZ
The remaining Office applications appear in the base Office 2016 installation language. The following table lists the base language for each LIP language.
