The suite of Microsoft Office applications is now available for download directly in Apple's Mac App Store for the first time. Previously, Mac users had to download the applications from Microsoft's website.
The apps included are: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and OneDrive. You can download them individually, or as part of a bundle.Office 365 is subscription based. That means the software package is free to download, but you'll have to pay a subscription fee to get any use out of it. Users have the option of subscribing through their Apple accounts, which plays into Apple's efforts to convince app developers to use subscription models on its platforms to bolster reliable revenue.
With Office for Mac, Microsoft is doing more than merely bringing its popular apps to the Mac App Store. The Mac App Store will also update the downloaded apps automatically, and you'll be able to. Jan 24, 2019 That slow clap you hear spreading around the internet today could be due to the fact that Apple has finally added Microsoft Office to the Mac App Store. The package will include Word, Excel. To manage your billing information, install or remove Microsoft 365 or Office apps from additional PCs or Macs. Recurring billing subscriptions may be purchased from Microsoft Store, the iTunes® Store, the Mac App Store.
These licenses can only be used with Office apps downloaded directly from Microsoft. If a one-time Office license is used with an app from the Mac App Store, you will see a yellow message bar stating Action Required: We've detected a one-time purchase license and the app will be in reduced functionality mode.
Apple has for a while offered bundles of apps to purchase in the iOS app store, but this is the first time we've noticed a bundled subscription package in the Mac App Store.
AdvertisementThe Mac App Store was redesigned with Mojave to more closely resemble the iOS App Store. That primarily meant an increased focused on manual curation and editorial copy, but it also meant that the store was organized into different categories than before. As one might expect, Office 365 lives primarily in the 'Work' tab of the App Store. In fact, as you can see below, it dominates that page for the moment.
This generic-sounding statement from Apple marketing SVP Phil Schiller was included with the announcement:
We are excited to welcome Microsoft Office 365 to the all new Mac App Store in macOS Mojave. Apple and Microsoft have worked together to bring great Office productivity to Mac users from the very beginning. Now, with Office 365 on the Mac App Store, it's easier than ever to get the latest and best version of Office 365 for Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
Microsoft has previously put some work into making Office 365 on Mac play nicely with newer macOS features like Dark Mode and Continuity Camera, and the versions of the software in the App Store offer the latest on that front. -->Office for Mac that comes with a Microsoft 365 subscription is updated on a regular basis to provide new features, security updates, and non-security updates. The following information is primarily intended for IT professionals who are deploying Office for Mac to the users in their organizations.
