General

What did you announce on September 24, 2018?

Office 2019 is now available as a one-time purchase for commercial and consumer users. Office 2019 is available for both Windows and macOS, and includes classic versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. The Windows version also includes Publisher 2019, Access 2019, Project 2019, and Visio 2019. Office 2019 applications don't receive feature updates but do receive regular security and stability updates.

If I have Office 365, do I need to get Office 2019?

No. Office 365 is our always-up-to-date version of the Office apps, and subscribers already have a version of Office that has all the functionality that's in Office 2019 and more. See a comparison of Office 365 ProPlus and Office 2019.

I just bought Office 2019, why don’t I see a particular feature?

Office 2019 is the on-premises version of Office that includes a meaningful subset of features found in Office 365, but does not include all of the latest features. It is a one-time purchase that does not receive feature updates.

The latest version of Office is Office 365 ProPlus. It is a user-based subscription powered by the Microsoft cloud, and includes the most productive, most secure, and up-to-date features. It provides access to real-time collaboration and AI-powered features beyond what is in Office 2019, and it receives feature updates on an ongoing basis.

I just bought Office 2019, why don’t I see the new feature data types in Excel?

Features like Ideas and new data types are service-backed features that will be available only in Office 365. These features will not be made available in the on-premises versions of Office such as Office 2019.

Is OneNote included in Office 2019?

With the introduction of Office 2019, OneNote for Windows 10 replaces OneNote 2016 as the default OneNote experience on Windows for Office 365 and Office 2019. OneNote for Windows 10 is included with Windows 10. If you’d prefer to use OneNote 2016, you can install it at any time, including as part of a volume install with the Office Deployment Tool. There are no similar changes for OneNote for Mac: it will install as part of Office 2019, if it is not already present, and includes additional functionality for Office 2019 customers. It also remains available as a free download from the Apple App Store. Learn more, including about feature differences across platforms.

Who is the audience for this release?

The commercial release of Office 2019 is geared toward volume-licensed commercial customers who have a specific need for on-premises or hybrid deployment and want to have the latest version of Office applications and services available for that scenario.

When will consumer versions of Office 2019 be available?

Consumer versions of Office 2019 are available starting October 2, 2018.

What is the difference between Office 2019 (on-premises; one-time purchase) and Office 365 (subscription)?

Office 2019 (for both Windows and Mac) is a one-time purchase and does not receive feature updates after you purchase it. Office 2019 includes a meaningful subset of features that are found in Office 365, but it's not part of Office 365. Office 2019 will receive quality and security updates as required.

Office 365 is a user-based subscription service powered by the Microsoft cloud. It provides access to a suite of services beyond what the on-premises version has and receives feature updates on an ongoing basis. It includes the most productive, secure, and up-to-date features.

How should a customer choose the most appropriate version of Office for their specific scenario?

For many customers, Office 365 is the way to go. It’s the most secure, intelligent and collaborative version of Office. However, going to the cloud is a journey, and our customers may be in different stages of that journey. This includes hybrid and on-premises. To support those customers, we have Office 2019, a valuable new release of Office with a subset of features from Office 365.

Why is Microsoft offering Office 2019 when it has shifted its strategy to Office 365 in the cloud?

Most of our cloud-powered innovation is coming to Office 365 and Microsoft 365. However, we recognize that some customers can't move to the cloud in the near term. We want to support all our customers in their journey to the cloud, at the pace that makes the most sense to them.

Will there be on-premises versions of Office beyond Office 2019?

Moving to the cloud is a journey with many considerations along the way. Therefore, we remain committed to on-premises customers and plan to do additional releases post Office 2019.

How do I know whether my PC or Mac can run Office 2019?

Office 2019 is compatible with Windows 10 and the three most recent versions of macOS.

For the best experience, use the latest version of any operating system. See the system requirements page for the full set of requirements for running Office 2019.

Note: When a new version of macOS is released, Office 2019 for Mac’s Operating System requirement becomes the then-current three most recent versions at that time: the new version of macOS and the previous two versions. For example, at the time macOS 10.14 is generally available from Apple, Office for Mac will support macOS 10.12, 10.13, and 10.14. Learn more about the latest macOS release here.

Will Office be identical on a PC and on a Mac?

No. Office applications are customized for each platform. The Office applications available for Mac users and the specific features that are included may differ from those available for PC users.

Can people with earlier versions of Office open documents I created by using Office 2019?

People who use Office 365, Office 2016, Office 2013, and Office 2010 applications can open documents created by using Office 2019 without any additional action.

How do I activate Office 2019 for my organization?

The activation methods for Office 2019 are the same as they were for Office 2016:

If you use KMS keys, then you have to set up a 2019 KMS Host to activate against.
If you use MAK keys, then you can either activate over the Internet (recommended) or if offline, activate over the telephone.

For more information about activation of volume licensed versions of Office 2019, see here.

Is Internet access required to use Office 2019?

No, you don't have to be connected to the Internet to use the Office 2019 applications, such as Word 2019, Excel 2019, and PowerPoint 2019, because the applications are fully installed on your computer.

Is Internet access required to update Office 2019?

Although updates for Office 2019 are made available through the Internet, they can be hosted on-premises for disconnected networks.
