Just bought a new Dell laptop so needed MS Office. Looked up HUP through my workplace and noticed that MS Office 2019 was still available even though it was to be replaced by Office 365. Whilst the prices are not the cheapest, it beats paying a yearly subscription fee for Office 365.

Available 2
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 - Windows 10

    Weird, I had Office 2016 installed through HUP and it automatically updated itself to 2019 last week? Not complaining, just unusual.

    • xjcs88 on 01/05/2019 - 09:57

      Really? Automatic Update? Sounds amazing… Let me try to update hmmm.

      • edathor on 06/05/2019 - 17:47

        I have an MSDN subscription and my install updated too. The new icons, which look nice, got my attention.

        The update is far from amazing really. There's not that much difference between Office 2016 and 2019.

        • IVI on 29/05/2019 - 01:44

          That'd be M$: Change little
          but insure a 3 year spread,
          between name suffixes:

          • 2016 => 2019

          PS An earlier edition of MSDN
          supplied developer-only editions
          of applications "not for business
          use"

          Has that changed?

    • xjcs88 on 01/05/2019 - 10:19

      Really depends on what your work/school was using. If it was Office 365 E3/E5 for example then a 2019 update would happen.

    • spendybeans on 02/05/2019 - 09:02

      I would be complaining!

      2019 vs 2016 has reduced functionality when it comes to OneNote anyway.

      It's the reason I've been chasing a 2016 version

      • edathor on 06/05/2019 - 17:44
        +1

        It's no big deal. Office 2019 doesn't include OneNote and the auto update simply leaves OneNote 2016 installed.

  • eciuj on 01/05/2019 - 09:21

    • Smigit on 01/05/2019 - 09:52
      +2

      It is. It’s because the employer of anyone that can access HUP is paying MS substantially more so this is a perk the business can pass onto employees.

    • gilbarc on 01/05/2019 - 09:59

    • itsMartin on 01/05/2019 - 12:24

      RRP of Office has always been high for standalone editions.

      The HUP used to be about $15 though, so its increased a decent amount but it is still a good saving compared to buying the standalone software at RRP or paying for Office 365 if you don't need it.

    Hello, I have done this recently. 2016 used to work ok but 2019 has been replaced by O365 (In Australia)
    So what I did is chose USA instead of Australia as they seem to still have access to 2019. I put a dummy home address somewhere in the USA (they dont send you anything via mail) they send you all the details and downloads via email.

    If I chose Australia instead of USA it would default to giving me O365 subscription.

      So long as your company is a member of the Home Use Program you can definitely download and access "it" (not sure if "it" is office 2019 or office 365)

      You used to be able to download an ISO and use a serial number. So even if you moved companies you could still install and use it. That was in the days of office 2016. With office 2019 I'm not sure though
