To get started, log into the Office Online portal using the account linked to your Office 365 subscription. Once logged in, click your name in the upper-right portion of the webpage and select My Account. This page gives you an overview of your Office 365 subscription, including information on shared installations, renewal dates, and OneDrive storage. Find the section labeled “Install” and click on the orange Install button. Here’s where things deviate if you want to install Office 2013.
Office 365, Office 2019, Office 2016, Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2007, Office for Mac 2011, and Office for Mac 2008 applications can open your documents without any additional action. Customers using earlier versions of Office may need to download and install a compatibility pack.
Simply clicking the Orange Install button again will download the Office 365 installer for the latest version of the suite, which is Office 2016. To get an older version like Office 2013, click the text link labeled Language and install options. Again, don’t jump the gun and click the Install button, as that will also simply install the latest version. Instead, find and click on the Additional install options link at the bottom. Finally, this is where you can choose to download Office 2013 instead of Office 2016. In the section labeled “32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office,” click on the “Version” drop-down menu. In addition to the standard 32-bit and 64-bit versions of simply “Office” (which installs the corresponding 2016 version), you’ll see separate 32- and 64-bit entries for “Office 2013.” Choose your desired version of Office 2013 and click the orange Install button to the right.
This time, you’ll receive the Office 365 installer for the previous version of Office, which you can install on any Windows PC that meets its system requirements. Related: Microsoft certainly doesn’t make it easy or clear on how you can find the older Office 2013 installer, but once you’ve performed these steps once or twice you’ll likely get the hang of it going forward if you need to deploy the older version of Office to any of your other Office 365 PCs.

I guess I'm going to have to have my users connect to the new O365 Exchange with OWA until all the data gets moved off of the 2003 Exchange server. So they'll be using Outlook for old data and OWA for new.
Ugly, very ugly. Maybe ntg will come up with a better plan.

I am pretty sure there are no downgrade rights with Office 365 subscriptions. It most certainly does come with downgrade rights for the Office client software. 2010 is still available. At least on our E3 plan.
What that document means, is the server-side applications will use the most-recent versions. But this can also be controlled, up to a point. You can set your tenant to not receive new major releases when they first come out.
I think you can only delay those by a few months, and then they become mandatory. Wrote: When I log onto O365 I can grab Office 2013, but because of our current setup I want / need to install 2010. If I am reading this correctly I am allowed to do this. I already have 2010 Plus media and a VLK. Am I just supposed to use that and keep track of the count to make sure it matches with my O365 licenses? Or does O365 supply me with a new VLK to use? 2010 should be available in the same place 2013 is.
Under the user's login, Gear Icon, Office 365 Settings, Software. Don't use your VLK media or keys. You have to install from the website.
It's a Click-Once Deploy application and the keys are tied to the user account/subscription. At the bottom of that page you should see this. Not ready to install the latest version of Office? If your computer doesn’t meet the system requirements for the latest version of Office or your language isn’t supported yet, you can install the previous version of Office. Install Office Professional Plus 2010 Install Office Professional Plus 2010 language packs.
I am by no means an O365 licensing expert - but I have read the VL briefs and Product List and both state - Online Services customers have access to the latest technology with the newest features and releases. As with all Subscription Services, Microsoft generally offers only the latest version of the service at a time. Therefore, downgrade rights are not available with Office Professional Plus for Office 365 licenses. That being said, I checked my O365 account and have this: (.note I have an E3 plan).
