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.

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 👍🏻

    If you’re already completely set up in Excel, there’s no reason to switch.

    is there no reason? licensing issues (like certain not so old purchased versions just getting disabled globally)? windows lock-in?

    If you’re set up in LO using visual basic outside of it then that would also mean there’s no reason to switch.

    what do you think, how is visual basic used in a spreadsheet? how do you imagine it being used outside of the spreadsheet app?
