Microsoft office professional plus 2019 vs home and business free
If I buy and install this subscription based version of Office Family, does it simply add any improved feature updates to the included Office apps over the existing Microsoft Office Professional Plus version software already on the computer?
If at the end of this 15 month subscription, and decide NOT to resubscribe to Office Family, do I have access to the original Microsoft Office Professional Plus that was present on the computer prior to installing Office Family? What are the Pros and Cons and me installing this subscription based system on top of the existing Microsoft Office Professional Plus I already have?
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. But thanks for trying with that simple Microsoft Pravda Propaganda link enticing users to go with subscription based software. You will have to ask the retailer if Office Professional is really a full version or if it is just a trial version. You're right. I'm sorry. I guess I kinda snapped cause you were snide to me first. I should have taken the high road. Please accept my sincere apology. I'm also sorry that you were so offended by the use of the term "full-blown," as you have once again referred to that term, even though I have clearly removed its usage from my original post, prior to your most recent reply, I should have stated the correct terminology for the software that I have currently installed:.
So to everyone else that is following this thread, and who may have the same questions or concerns that I have I'm sure I'm not the only one that is in this situation , has my questions as posted been answered to your satisfaction? Does anyone here have their favorite Go-To site or forum they refer to with Office related issues? Is there a telephone number that I can reach out to Microsoft directly so I may speak to a Microsoft professional to seek the answers to my questions; something similar to what Apple has thru their Apple Care program?
Thanks again, and again I'm sorry to everyone who may have been offended or hurt by this exchange. In theory, you can install "over" , but don't. In the past it was doable. But, recently, we have seen that Office's decision to use the same version number So it is probably best to do a "simple" uninstall of before installing It will potentially save confusion and angst in the future.
Your license is "permanent", so if you decide to jump off the milk train you would be able to re-install it in the future. But, you've already paid for , so unless you NEED the other "advantages" of , it becomes a net loss until reaches EOL in I've seen mention of the costco offer before. It is a really good deal, you are not likely to see better. There is a second offer you can try to take advantage of.
If you are lucky, this will trigger an "offer" of an extra "free" month if you turn it on. Turn it On, submit your key to get the extra month I believe it shows up immediately in your expire date. Turn it off, start the process to submit the next key. If you are doing this, you can only submit 3 keys initially. Then you have to wait 4 months before you can submit the 4th one to get the full 5 years 4 months you would be "entitled" to. If you do buy more than 4 costco keys, keep the extras in a safe place.
And keep your userid and password in your will. If you get hit by the proverbial bus, you want your family to be able to continue using the subscription.

I currently have installed the Microsoft Office Professional Plus These are just a few questions I have before buying the cheap Costco offer of Office Family. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Perhaps this article will help explain the differences.
Note that Office is not "full blown" compared to Microsoft How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Didn't answer a single question I asked.
Hoping I can get some answers to my questions as posted. Stefan Blom MVP. No reason to be snide. Microsoft Family will always be the most up-to-date because it's a subscription. The individual apps will receive feature updates. It also allows you to share your subscription with five other people and you get expanded OneDrive space.
You can also install it on as many devices as you own and use it on up to five of those devices simultaneously. Office is a one-time license for a single person and can be installed on exactly one computer and only once on that computer.
While it will receive security updates, it will not get feature updates. No additional cloud storage as well. You should not have both Microsoft and Office installed on the same computer, which means that if there are any applications you need that are in Office , you should not subscribe to Microsoft There is one case where you can have them both installed and that is if Office is an MSI installation and not a click-to-run installation.
MSI installations are generally for Volume License products. I have seen a report that they can both be installed, but that it can interfere with the Office license detection. It's not certain to me whether or not you can uninstall Office , use Microsoft for a subscription period, then uninstall it and reinstall Office Reason says you can, but I've seen Microsoft documentation that says you can install it only once and other documentation that says you can reinstall. So, in the end, Microsoft is the "full-blown" version and I do think I've answered the questions you included, some of which were answered by the article to which I originally directed you.
I'm also sorry that you were so offended by the use of the term "full-blown," as you have once again referred to that term, even though I have clearly removed its usage from my original post, prior to your most recent reply, I should have stated the correct terminology for the software that I have currently installed: Microsoft Office Professional Plus So to everyone else that is following this thread, and who may have the same questions or concerns that I have I'm sure I'm not the only one that is in this situation , has my questions as posted been answered to your satisfaction?
Sorry you though I was snide. I didn't know what you meant by "full-blown", so I quoted it, as that was the term you used. I cannot see any title change you may have made when I'm using the Directly platform and not the Microsoft Community platform and so had no idea you had edited your original post. It should install along side Microsoft If volume licensed, then it will need to contain the organization's activation server periodically in order to stay activated.
Rohn MVP. In reply to Kujoman's post on August 16, Access is part of Family, I have it, Even I admit there are a few "advantages" to you get the latest bells and whistles, aka "new online features" like dictate that are limited to you get new commands only, such as "Dynamic Arrays" in Excel if you need to install on more than one computer if you can share Family with one or more people you are mobile and need more than the 5GB of free OneDrive space to access current files online a little more secure than using a thumbdrive Disadvantage: You already recognize the long term cost.
