Which edition is right for you?

You will find all editions in the Microsoft Office 2019 category.

Office 2019 or a newer version?

Office 2019 is a proven perpetual licence and has been the standard for years in many companies, schools and clubs. If you work with colleagues or customers who use Office 2019, you get the same interface, the same menus and the same features. On top of that, Office 2019 Home & Student is the most affordable way to get a full Microsoft Office without a subscription.

If you need features such as XLOOKUP or dynamic arrays in Excel, choose Office 2021 or Office 2024. The file formats are the same in all three versions, so documents can be exchanged without any problems.

Buy once instead of subscribing

Microsoft 365 costs money every year. Office 2019, by contrast, you pay for once, and the programs stay on your computer permanently. For many users who mainly write letters, maintain spreadsheets and create presentations, this is the most economical solution – especially when several devices need to be equipped. You save your files as usual locally, on the network or with a cloud provider of your choice.
