1452966 2018-08-21 08:26:00 Hi All
Monday morning 20th August I bought A new copy of M S Office. Expiry date on this computer 22nd August.I installed it that evening. I expected it to update to 2018 version. I went right thro till it said "Successfully I nstalled. I saw no message other than that. I saw no acknowlegment nor anything with a new 2018 date.What have I done wrong? Or does it only change on the expiry date. Should I delete the programme & start again

1452967 2018-08-21 08:46:00 Office 2016 is still the latest version :) pcuser42 (130)
1452968 2018-08-21 08:51:00 AHAH That explains a lot.PJ. was expecting changes. Thanks. Poppa John (284)
1452969 2018-08-21 09:28:00 There is no Office 2018.

The next version is Office 2019, due out sometime later this year. There is a version available already to some testers or Business accounts. You will Have to be on Windows 10 or Server 2016 + or MAC.

If you have Office 365 when its ready you'll get a message on your office programs stating there's a new version, and offer to upgrade.

If you only have a stand alone office 2016 (non 365) -- Tough - no upgrade

Hi I'm Back, had to go to hospital to see about a possible stroke, gone when I got there hence the slow followup

Still puzzeled with the MS Office problem I bought another one from leemings & installed it. the last screen said "
installation completted succesfully" I was not notified on email that it was installed. Yet on the first page of email page it says that I have been disconnected presumably for non payment. How can I correct this? Thanks. PJ

A certain retailer is selling laptops: "Education" version with Windows 10 Pro "national academic"

What limitations does the windows 10 "national academic" lic have . Is it OK for general NON Edu use
The laptop has already been bought, I just want to check before I open the box . The retailer insists its OK, Im not 100% sure

As for limitations being enterprise its got everything. BUT Not to sure how that will go when setting up, as it may ask for details of the volume details. If you ever need to do a reinstall you "may" be SOL. The Standard ISO's you get from MS do have the Education Version as an option, BUT don't know if the key is embedded like modern Laptops ?

In the past, standard install ISO's/Cd wouldnt work on VL keys . Not sure if the same with 10.
So a re-install might to be a problem, as would updates via DVD: eg update to 1803 from DVD .
I think using a live login is also blocked, but that could be a good thing :)
