1 PC / Mac, so it will work sa Mac?

Checked MS website:

Wala check mark doon sa 5th row.

But again one time purchase for PC and Mac nakalagay sa headers [emoji2957]

Went to Megamall yesterday, yung isang shop telling me talagang 365 lang daw ang gagama for Mac? Ayoko na nga ng subscription.

They tried daw yan office and home ilagay sa mac ayaw daw talaga. Lugi pa nga sila since nabuksan na, hindi na nila mabenta.

Solb na ako dyan sa Home and Student since Word, Excel and Powerpoint lang talaga needed ko.

Any inputs?

This will work on the Mac. You’ll be directed to the MS website to download the correct version.

If I’m correct, that package has no disc or installer in it. It just has the product key. Inside, you’ll get a link to where you can download the software from MS and it will provide you the right version for your OS.

Actually I already got an MS Office installed. I got office 365 last year (subscription).

Now I just need the product key to enable it again.

Yan nga daw this Home and Student will no longer work nga daw with Mac. IIRC the shop was referring to the product key?

Add also the image I posted above from Microsoft.com naman. Confusing.

If you buy that, it will install in either a Windows or a Mac computer. The website will detect what OS you are running and install the correct (in your case DMG file) version.

many years ago, i vaguely recall an industry (microsoft?) exec commenting something like,
"the company has only less than two handsful of legitimate purchases of the program that is running in every computer in this country..."

This Product Key won’t work with your Office 365. You’ll need to install Office 2019 for this particular key.

The key is legit, but the manner it’s currently being used and distributed by the seller is not.

Office 365 is the subscription version of windows, same as Adobe CC
