Microsoft Office 2019
Microsoft Office 2019 (second release codenamed Office 16) is a version of Microsoft Office for both Windows and Mac. It was unveiled on April 27, 2018, for Microsoft Windows and June 12, 2018, for macOS, and launched on September 24, 2018. Some features that had previously been restricted to Office 365 subscribers are available in this release. Office 2019 retains the same major version number of 16, making it the second perpetual release of Office 16. Office 2019 is compatible with Windows 10 v1809 and Windows Server 2019 through Windows 11 v23H2 and Windows Server 2022. It is also compatible with macOS Sierra through macOS Sequoia and macOS 27. Unlike other versions of Microsoft Office, Office 2019 received only two years of extended support, which ended on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft Office 2019 was officially released on September 24, 2018, for Microsoft Windows and macOS, following a preview phase earlier that year. Office 2019 was designed for users who preferred a perpetual license model, offering a one-time purchase option, in contrast to the subscription-based Office 365 (now Microsoft 365). While it includes essential productivity tools, Office 2019 does not receive future feature updates beyond its initial release.
On April 27, 2018, Microsoft launched the Office 2019 Commercial Preview for Windows, providing enterprise customers and IT professionals with early access to the new suite. The Commercial Preview allowed these users to test the product in professional environments and provide feedback, which helped Microsoft refine the final release. This version was particularly aimed at businesses preferring a traditional licensing model instead of adopting Microsoft's subscription-based Office 365 service.
The macOS version of the Office 2019 Commercial Preview followed on June 12, 2018, continuing Microsoft’s support for cross-platform users. By offering the preview on both major operating systems, Microsoft ensured that its new features and functionality could be tested across diverse environments.
Following this preview phase, the official stable release of Office 2019 was made available to the public on September 24, 2018. Unlike Office 365, which provides regular cloud-based feature updates, Office 2019 was designed to remain static in terms of feature development, making it an attractive option for users who preferred a stable, non-evolving platform for productivity.
Although Office 2019 did not receive feature updates like Office 365, Microsoft regularly releases security and quality updates for the suite. These updates were typically provided once a month on Patch Tuesday (the second Tuesday of each month), ensuring that the software remained secure and reliable.
The mainstream support phase for Office 2019 extended until October 10, 2023, after which extended support continued until October 14, 2025.
In 2026, Microsoft announced that due to an expiring digital certificate for license validation that cannot be updated due to the end of support, all Office 2019 for macOS licenses will cease to function on July 13, 2026; the software will only be usable in read-only mode, and will be rendered incapable of editing documents.
