The preview period is over. Microsoft is making Office 2019 generally available starting today, September 24, for Windows and Mac.

Office for Mac is supported on only two versions of the Mac OS; the current version and the previous version. That means Office 2019 for Mac will be supported on MacOS ‘Mojave’ (coming later in 2018), ‘High Sierra’ (Sept 2017) and perhaps the earlier ‘Sierra’ release. Office 2019 for Mac gets five years of support. Office 2019 for Mac, however, will continue to come with an improved version of the existing OneNote package, but for Windows, only Windows 10 users will be allowed to install the productivity suite.

Office 2019 is the successor to Office 2016. It's the 'perpetual,' on-premises version of Microsoft's Office suite and includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, Access and Publisher. Microsoft released a preview of these applications to commercial customers in April 2018.

As Microsoft officials have said previously, the Office 2019 feature list is a subset of what Office 365 ProPlus subscribers get. The 2019 release adds some of the key Office features that Microsoft already has rolled out to its Office 365 subscribers over the past three years.

“But that’s not how Quicken’s subscription works. Quicken’s subscription is backed by something they call the Data Access Guarantee, which insures you’ll always be able to access your financial data Even if I stop subscribing, I’ll be able to continue using Quicken 2018 (or 2019 or whatever) much the same way I use Quicken 2007 today: As a standalone app without access to online services or Quicken’s support services.

Just a reminder: Office 2019 will only run on Windows 10, not Windows 7/8.1 and in the case of the server apps, Windows Server 2019. The Office 2019 client apps also will be released as Click-to-Run only. Microsoft won't be providing a MSI option for Office 2019 clients, but will continue to do so for Office Server products.

Update (September 24): Microsoft officials also confirmed today that there will be another on-premises, perpetual version of both its Office clients and servers after Office 2019. (Before today, all we could get was a 'maybe.') Microsoft isn't providing any timing guidelines as to when the successor to Office 2019 client and server will be available, but they are definitely on the roadmap, as a result of customer feedback.
