Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

The Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime enables you to distribute Access 2016 applications to users who do not have the full version of Access 2016 installed on their computers.

• Microsoft Access 2016 provides a rich platform for developing database management solutions with easy-to-use customization tools. If no end-user customization is required (including report modifications), you can choose to distribute those Access 2016 solutions so that they run without requiring a full installation of Access 2016. To do so, you must package and distribute your application with the Access 2016 Runtime.
  
  The Access 2016 Runtime is similar to previous runtimes in that all design-related UI is either removed or disabled.
  
  You do not need to buy any special product in order to redistribute the Access 2016 Runtime. You can freely redistribute it or point users to this download.
  
  Web based Apps for SharePoint that are built with Access 2016 do not require a runtime - only a supported web browser is required.
