Is it possible to install volume license versions of office 2016 and 2019 side by side with C2R installs? The configurator tool has Visio and Project 2016, but not Office Pro+ 2016. I can download the MSI install from our VL site, but that can't be installed side by side with 2019. We offer training on both, so it would be helpful to be able to have them installed together on the same machine.
I've tried using ProfessionalRetail but that doesn't use our volume license, so is also not a good option.

That was what I found as well, I was just hoping that I was missing something somewhere. It seems odd to me that they are both version 16.0, and also that you can install Visio and Project 2016 C2R but not Office itself.
This seems like something that would be a great use for a docker container!
It is impossible to install volume licensed versions of Office 2016 and 2019 together on the same PC.
The two main things that determine whether Office 2016 and Office 2019 can be installed together on the same computer are the version and the installation technology used to install them.
Office Professional Plus 2016 is Version 16.0 and use MSI installation technology, volume licensed Office 2019 is also Version 16.0 but use C2R installation technology.
According to the article "Supported scenarios for installing different versions of Office, Project, and Visio on the same computer", you can't install two products together that have the same version but use different installation technologies.
As a workaround, it's better to create virtual machines, install one of these Office 2016 and Office 2019 on them, then install another one on local PC.
Hope the information is helpful. Please feel free to post back if you need further assistance on this issue.
