Open Regedit and navigate to the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration
Search for CDNBaseUrl
Semi-Annual Channel: http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/7ffbc6bf-bc32-4f92-8982-f9dd17fd3114
You can simply replace the URL within the key with one of hte above, depending on what you want to set. Once you've done this, you can re-open the Office app and search for updates. It'll start updating.
