"Office Professional Plus 2019 and Office Home and Business 2019 are no longer available as Home Use Program offers," Microsoft said in a revised FAQ about HUP. But earlier this year, Microsoft modified HUP to offer consumer-grade subscriptions to Office 365 as well.Īt the same time, Microsoft made clear that the one-PC-per-license deals were obsolete and likely to be retired from HUP.
#MICROSOFT HOME USE PROGRAM GOVERNMENT SOFTWARE#
HUP has long offered employees of eligible organizations discounts on perpetual Office licenses, those purchased with one-time payments that grant the user rights to run the software as long as desired, theoretically in perpetuity. Employers liked the idea because it implicitly encouraged employees to work at home.
The idea: Let employees buy the same Office suite that they use at work, then run the suite on their home PC.
#MICROSOFT HOME USE PROGRAM GOVERNMENT UPGRADE#
Although SA may be best known for granting upgrade rights to the next version of a "perpetual" license – such as Office 2019 – it also is included with some subscription-based licensing of, for instance, Office 365 or its more inclusive big sister, Microsoft 365. Home Use Program (HUP) is one of the benefits provided by Software Assurance (SA), in turn either included with some Office licensing categories or optional with others. As expected, Microsoft has dumped the perpetually-licensed Office 2019 from its "Home Use Program" agreements with organizations that license the productivity software for the workplace.
