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 👍🏻

    Not saying that I agree with the title, just explaining what I think was the reason.

    Although one could say that trusting microslop to keep their word after what we’ve seen them do in the last years is… foolish to say the least.
