The removal of the Office OneNote 2016 desktop version download links is unacceptable.
For those searching for the undocumented links they are here. You cannot reach these from any other page on the Microsoft sites any more. I don't know how long they'll continue to work. They will not work for non click-to-run clients to the best of my knowledge:
Here is the download link for oneNote 2016. While no longer included in office, it's still a free download - but don't expect any additional development on it:
Ok here are the links:
http://www.onenote.com/download/win32/x86/en-us
http://www.onenote.com/download/win32/x64/en-us
These are direct download links - not link clickable.
Sorry for the confusion. Don't know how long these will last but I was able to get to them eventually through the various pages - they make it difficult. If you're not in the US link in the correct language/country at the end.
Lee,
Thank you so much for this post! I reinstalled Office 365 the other day and found OneNote desktop version missing. After a quick search all news articles mention this, but was related to Office 2019. I did not continue my search but tried to push myself to use the newer version. After getting frustrated I did a deeper search and found your post. Thank you for the direct download links!
