Microsoft announces Office 2019

How would you get these onto an image?

 

I wonder if it’s going to be similar to Office 365 ProPlus by using the Office Deployment Tool?

[Asgard]

Slightly off topic but sort of relevant (from the same email)

 

Also Microsoft have advised the CHARGEABLE SERVICING OPTIONS FOR WINDOWS 10 EDUCATION referenced below are available under EES. They are enabled by an amendment to the EES agreement (only available under EES) and would cost £1.60 (ex VAT) per user per month (this covers - Volume License customers who need more than the additional six months of no-cost servicing beyond April 10, 2018 can alternatively secure 12 months of additional servicing (starting from April 10, 2018) with paid supplemental servicing”)

 

And paid for extended support

 

We will also offer additional paid servicing options for Windows 10 Enterprise and Education releases starting with Windows 10 version 1607. For more information, contact your Microsoft account team.

Anyone know how to get the 'click-to-run installer'? I don't see anything on VLSC even though the new office 2019 versions are listed.

 

And I tried this link for the retail ISO but my license key errors out saying it needs to be the VLSC download (which doesnt seem to exist).

So I'm still searching for the actual installer! Anyone know where it is?

It's definitely there...

 

 

As mentioned in the other Office 2019 thread you need to use the Office Deployment Tool to download the C2R installer.

Does anyone know the Product ID for Office 2019 standard VLK? I can get the config file to install ProPlus 2019 VLK but not standard.

I think it's Standard2019Volume

Thanks for that @Arthur. I knew I saw a list yesterday but couldn't find it again.

Apparently Office 2019 isn't supported with SIMS until Spring 2020!!

Bet it'll work just fine though - I can't imagine they've made breaking changes to VBA and the APIs SIMS uses.

When we get a problem they will start being awkward. I think I am going to be looking for a new MIS at Bett this year. Far too many occasions that SIMS stops progression.

I just tested running a Sims report and it works perfectly outputting to Excel 2019.

 

In fact it looks like it works even better than 2016 by not showing those annoying security warnings each time.

As I say above there is a difference with what works and what is supported.

We had that before - I just tested on a VM that had a supported version of Office on it. If the same problem occurred, I just reported that one! If it didn't, I had a starting point to figure it out myself.

I did see Office 2019 for Mac on the Volume Licence list. Edited October 5, 2018 by itwitch
