Then you can cancel the 365 subscription if/when the “free upgrade” offer kicks in or if there is no upgrade offer, when 2019 is finally generally released to the public later this year. So for now, this is a time when I suggest you get a month to month subscription to Office 365 Personal for 1 computer, or 365 Home for 2-5 computers. The idea for MS is to keep up sales ($$$money$$$ coming in!) until 2019 is released. My personal guess is that based on that fall release date, around June 2018 MS will offer a “free upgrade” to 2019 when it comes out to anyone who has bought a one-time payment license of Office 2016 in the qualifying time period. PowerPoint Morph and Zoom animationĮxcpect both PC and Mac versions of 2019.Įxpected Release date in Sept or Oct 2018. Expected new featuers include Ink pressure sensitivity, tilt and replay. This will NOT include ALL of the featues in Office 365/2016.
Note: if you are planning on buying a one-time payment license to Office 2016 now rather than 365 take a look these articles and my suggestion at the end.įeature list will be based on features in Office 2016 Pro Plus one-time payment bundle update that is released in March 2018.
Your existing personal files will not be moved. The 2016 install should pick up all of your current configuration information.
