Microsoft is disabling Office 2019 for Mac next month
The Verge·June 10, 2026
Microsoft is disabling Office 2019 for Mac next month due to a non-renewed certificate that validates licenses. As a result, users will no longer be able to edit documents and will need to purchase Office 2024 or a Microsoft 365 subscription to continue using the software. This move contradicts Microsoft's previous statement that Office 2019 apps would continue to function despite ending support in 2023. The company has since updated its support note to clarify that while data will not be lost, app functionality will be discontinued.
