The second was a tinyurl link, which went to a domain called, where I was asked to download a file called "Microsoft_Office_2019_VL_Serializer.pkg" (which I did not do). master Downloads/PKG/MicrosoftOffice2016VLSerializer2.0.pkg Go to file Cannot retrieve contributors at this time 3.

When I simply clicked on the link, it downloaded what appeared to be a Microsoft Office Installer dot-pkg file needless to say, I have not opened that file.

The first appeared to be from go., but when I typed it in (instead of clicking on the link in the email) I got "the page requested could not be found". Instead, I received two links to "download and install". I was expecting to receive a "key" which I could then use to download from Microsoft's website. Microsoft 365 includes the robust Office desktop apps you’re familiar with, like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.Needing to upgrade to a 64-bit version of Microsoft Office (in order to upgrade to Mac OS Catalina or Big Sur), I sought out a deal on Office 2019.Īfter paying, I received an email with the installation instructions. Office 2019 includes significant improvements over Microsoft Office 2016 and earlier versions of on-premises Office, and it is actually different from Microsoft 365, in that Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based model that includes the most collaborative, up-to-date features in one seamless, integrated experience.

If you wish to purchase the Microsoft Office 365 Business plan, in this guide, we have also embedded a link to the Microsoft page for more information. In this guide, I have discussed how to complete Microsoft Office 365 Family Subscription, and how to Cancel Office 365 Family Subscription. While you can download Office 2021, 2019, and Office 2016 for free from Microsoft, you need to own a license key or have a Microsoft 365 subscription to actually use the programs. However, there are no upgrade options, so if you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you’ll have to buy it at full price. One-time purchases are available for both PCs and Macs. Office 2021 is sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a single, up-front cost to get Office apps for one computer.
