New IT value
Office 2019 also includes new IT value for enhanced security and streamlined administration.
Reduce costs and improve security
We introduced Click-to-Run (C2R), a modern deployment technology, in Office 2013, and it’s now used to deploy and update Office across hundreds of millions of devices worldwide. With Office 2019, we’re moving the on-premises versions of Office to C2R to reduce costs and improve security.
Enterprise-focused management capabilities
C2R offers the same enterprise-focused management capabilities as Microsoft Installer (MSI) based products and will also support an in-place upgrade when you move to Office 2019 from older MSI-based products. The advantages of C2R include predictable:
Monthly security updates
Up-to-date apps on installation
Reduced network consumption
Easy upgrade path to Office 365 ProPlus
Support
Office 2019 will receive 5 years of mainstream support, but will only get two years of extended support.
Office 2019 (for both Windows and Mac) is a one-time purchase and does not receive feature updates after you purchase it. Office 2019 includes a meaningful subset of features that are found in Office 365, but it’s not part of Office 365. Office 2019 will receive quality and security updates as required.
