Perpetually licensed Office 2019 now available for corporate customers
The perpetually licensed version of the desktop Office apps, branded Office 2019, was released today. It's available as a one-time purchase for volume-licensed commercial customers. A consumer release will come in the next few weeks.
Office 2019 is supported on Windows 10—exclusively; no Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 support is available—and the three most-recent versions of macOS (that is, today's release of 10.14, 10.13, and 10.12).
The new Office includes updated versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. On Windows, it also includes Publisher, Access, Project, and Visio. These apps, on the other hand are all in maintenance mode: they're receiving security fixes but haven't had any feature changes. There's no 2019 version of OneNote at all; the Windows 10 UWP version of the app is now the primary version, though Office 2019 customers will still be able to install OneNote 2016 if they prefer.
