Microsoft Office 2019 (second release codenamed Office 16) is a version of Microsoft Office for both Windows and Mac.[6] It was unveiled on April 27, 2018, for Microsoft Windows and June 12, 2018, for macOS, and launched on September 24, 2018.[1] Some features that had previously been restricted to Office 365 subscribers are available in this release.[7] Office 2019 retains the same major version number of 16, making it the second perpetual release of Office 16. Unlike other versions of Microsoft Office, Office 2019 will only get two years of extended support, which means that support for Office 2019 will end on October 14, 2025.[8]

History

Office 2019 Commercial Preview was released by Microsoft on April 27, 2018, providing users with a sneak peek of the latest features and enhancements tailored for Microsoft Windows https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365-blog/office-2019-commercial-preview-now-available-for-download/ba-p/196387 https://www.techradar.com/reviews/office-2019. Subsequently, on June 12, 2018, the preview was extended to macOS users https://www.techradar.com/reviews/office-2019 https://theverge.com/2018/6/12/17453066/microsoft-office-2019-mac-preview-commercial-release. The Commercial Preview allowed users to offer feedback, contributing to a refined final release. After the preview phase, stable versions were released for Microsoft Windows and macOS, solidifying Office 2019's position as a prominent productivity suite.https://www.techradar.com/reviews/office-2019

Microsoft releases security and quality updates for Office 2019 approximately once a month, usually on second Tuesday of the month. Users can check their office version number and manually update if necessary.[9]

New features

Office 2019 includes many of the features previously published via Office 365, along with improved inking features, LaTeX support in Word, new animation features in PowerPoint including the morph and zoom features, and new formulas and charts in Excel for data analysis.[10]

OneNote is absent from the suite as the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) version of OneNote bundled with Windows replaces it. OneNote 2016 can be installed as an optional feature on the Office Installer.[11] [12] [13]

For Mac users, Focus Mode will be brought to Word, 2D maps will be brought to Excel and new Morph transitions, SVG support and 4K video exports will be coming to PowerPoint, among other features.

Despite being released in the same month, the new Office user interface in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook is only available to Office 365 subscribers, not perpetual Office 2019 licenses.[14] [15] [16]

Office 2019 for Mac received updates until it reached the end of support and stopped receiving updates.

Editions

Traditional editions

Microsoft Office 2019 has the same perpetual SKU editions aimed towards different markets. Like its predecessor, Microsoft Office 2019 contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote and is licensed for use on one computer.[17] [18]

5 perpetual SKU editions of Office 2019 were released for Windows:

Unlike its predecessor, both Windows version retail & volume versions use the Click-to-Run (C2R) for installation.

Like its predecessor, three traditional editions of Office 2019 were released for Mac:

Deployment

macOS installations can be acquired from the Microsoft website or the Mac App Store.[20]

For Office 2013 and 2016, various editions containing the client apps were available in both Click-To-Run (inspired by Microsoft App-V) and traditional Windows Installer setup formats. However, Office 2019 client apps only have a Click-to-Run installer and only the server apps have the traditional MSI installer. The Click-To-Run version has a smaller footprint; in case of Microsoft Office 2019 Pro Plus, the product requires 10 GB less than the MSI version of Office 2016 Pro Plus.[21]

Volume licensing versions of Office 2019 cannot be downloaded from Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center and must be deployed using configuration.xml and running Office Deployment Tool (ODT) from command-line.[22]
