The latest version of the suite is arriving on Windows and Mac computers simultaneously.Īvailability of Office 2019 is currently limited to commercial volume license customers, those who buy Office in bulk for cross-organization deployment. Office 2019Īt Ignite yesterday, Microsoft revealed Office 2019 is moving to general availability. The three options are in the upgrade process (renewing an Office 365 license or upgrading to Office 2019), or simply deleting Office and doing a new full product install. Microsoft is not even helping these users out as there is no easy path to moving from 32-bit to 64-bit. In other words, any current installations downloaded as 32-bit defaults will not be upgraded to 64-bit. It is worth noting that this is specifically for new installations of the suite. All Macs use 64-bit and have done for years, so this news is strictly for Office users on Microsoft’s own Windows platform. Over on Mac, users can be forgiven for thinking what all the fuss is about.
