Office 2019 is a one-time purchase that comes with classic apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for PC or Mac, and does not include any of the services that come with an Office 365 subscription. One-time purchases don’t have an upgrade option, which means if you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you'll have to buy it at full price. These instructions may help with troubleshooting activation by removing all Office license files from your Mac. For example, if you previously installed a one-time purchase of Office for Mac and have switched to Office 365, you may not be seeing subscription features because your copy of Office is still using your old license.

This article explains the relationship between subscriptions and licenses, and provides additional information about who can assign licenses, understanding what happens when you assign a license to someone, and how many devices can people install Office on. It also includes links to understanding licenses for non-user mailboxes, and Articles about managing licenses.

When you buy a subscription to Office 365 for business, you sign up for a set of applications and services that you pay for on a either a monthly or an annual basis. The applications and services that you receive as part of your subscription depend on which product you purchased, such as Office 365 Business or Office 365 Business Premium. You can review what comes with each product on the Buy Office 365 page.

When you buy a subscription, you specify the number of licenses that you need, based on how many people you have in your organization. After your purchase is complete, you create accounts for people, and then assign a license to each person. As your organizational needs change, you can buy more licenses to accommodate new people, or reassign licenses to other users when someone leaves your organization.

If you have more than one subscription, you can assign licenses to different people for each subscription. For example, all of your users could be assigned to all Office 365 applications and services as part of an Office 365 Business Premium subscription, while a subset of users could also be assigned to Visio Online through a separate Visio subscription.

Articles about managing licenses

Microsoft Open License Transfer

When I purchase a new iMac or Macbook, will license purchases from the old computer transfer over to the new machine? If so, how does one go about transferring purchased licenses. (i.e. – CleanMyMac, MacScan, Mac DVDRipper Pro, etc.)

Transfer Microsoft Office 2010 To New Pc

I imagine that this depends on the individual developer, but I am curious about peoples’ experiences with this issue.

Thanks.

Microsoft Office Mac License Transfer Download

1. Sorry ~ answer to your first question: If you use the Migration Assistant most (maybe all) licenses will be transfered to your new Mac.

   Personally I only migrate the Users and 'other files' (the last point whatever it is called). Depending on the differences in your old and new Mac migration of System Files and Netwerk settings may result in problems.

   Since most licences are stored within the Users home directory (see my previous answer) moving your User manually using drag&drop should also move most of your licenses.

2. As you said - it depends on the Application!
   * ~/ is your home directory e.g. /Users/yourname/

   Microsoft Office 2004 stores the license in the hidden file OfficePID
   /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/OfficePID

   Microsoft Office 2008 uses a combination of two plists
   /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist
   ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist

   Adobe Licenses are far more complex and use a combination of the following
   /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet
   /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache
   However, my guess is they use something like a 'MachineID' in these licenses. When you try to restore them from a Time Machine Backup or Migration from another computer you will get an 'Licensing for this product has stopped working' error [Broken Link Removed]. It can be fixed but you better avoid it in the first place and just install Adobe Applications.

   Most other Applications store their licenses either in
   ~/Library/Application Support//
   or in their respective plist at ~/Library/Preferences

   This is just a general rule. Basically licenses can be stored in any hidden or visible file somewhere in your Users home directory or if the Application prompted you for administrator rights within /Library/Application Support or /Library/Preferences or wherever.
