Word 2019, Excel 2019, PowerPoint 2019 and Outlook 2019. Access, Publisher, Project, Visio and Teams are not included.
Does it work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?
The listing is intended for compatible Windows 10 or Windows 11 PCs. Office 2019 and Windows 10 are out of support, and Windows 11 compatibility can depend on the device and version. Confirm before ordering.
Does it work on Windows 7 or 8.1?
No. Office 2019 is not intended for Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.
Can I install it on a Mac?
No. This is the Windows PC edition. Choose an Office for Mac product for macOS.
Is the licence perpetual?
It is presented as a perpetual licence for the purchased 2019 release. “Perpetual” does not mean perpetual Microsoft support, future-version upgrades or guaranteed future Windows compatibility.
How many computers can use the licence?
The listing is for one compatible Windows PC. Additional devices require separate licensing unless the exact supplied terms state otherwise.
Can I choose 32-bit or 64-bit Office?
Yes, where both installers are available for the supplied product. The correct choice depends on Windows, existing Office components, add-ins and workflow requirements.
Should I choose 32-bit or 64-bit?
64-bit is common on modern PCs and supports larger data sets. Some legacy add-ins require 32-bit. Do not mix Office architectures; ask support if unsure.
Is a Microsoft account required?
A Microsoft account is normally required for retail-key redemption, activation and later reinstall access. Use an account you control and keep its credentials safe.
How is the product delivered?
Licence information, download guidance and activation instructions are delivered electronically after payment and order checks. No physical box or disc is shipped.
How quickly will I receive it?
Digital fulfilment begins after successful payment and order verification. Processing can take longer when an order requires security or payment review.
Is installation support included?
Yes. Professional installation guidance is included, and complimentary remote assistance is available by arrangement when needed.
Is Office 2019 still supported by Microsoft?
No. Microsoft support for Office 2019 ended on 14 October 2025. It no longer receives Microsoft security updates, bug fixes or Microsoft technical support.
Can I use Office offline?
Core desktop work can generally be completed offline after successful installation and activation. Activation, downloads, connected services and some account functions require internet access.
Can I transfer the licence to another PC?
Transfer and reactivation rights depend on the exact licence supplied and Microsoft’s terms. Ask Software Mart to confirm before replacing or reformatting a computer.
Does it include future Office versions?
No. It does not automatically upgrade to Office 2021, Office 2024 or Microsoft 365.
What if activation fails?
Contact Software Mart before making additional system changes. The support team can review the licence details, installed Office versions and activation steps, then offer remote help where appropriate.
Can Office 2019 coexist with another Office version?
Multiple Click-to-Run Office versions or mixed 32/64-bit components can conflict. Confirm the installation plan before removing or installing software.
Is commercial use permitted?
Home & Business is designed for home and small-business productivity. Your use remains subject to the Microsoft licence terms supplied with the product.
