Microsoft is disabling Office 2019 for Mac next month
www.theverge.com
A certificate issue means Office 2019 for Mac users won’t be able to edit or save documents starting July 13th.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/48806122

A license verification certificate expires and when it expires, Microsoft Office for Mac assumes it’s unlicensed even if it has been fully paid for.

So, any idiot who paid for Office 2019 for Mac “perpetual” will lose access to it next month.

The same will happen with Office 2021 and Office 2024 in the future.

Pirates are unaffected, only who paid for the product gets punished

Good job 👍🏻

      That’s EOL and they won’t do any additional support. Renew certificates is 1 hours of intern effort and 20 bucks, so fuck you.

      *effort and cost made up, but l considering they made billions with office, it’s basically equivalent.
