There will be at least one more perpetual Office client wave following this year's versions.Stony Brook University's license with Microsoft gives active students* and active west campus employees** rights to use the software, this includes 1) license, 2) media, and 3) software activation/keys. Microsoft officials have said this year's perpetual Office clients won't be the last non-subscription versions of Office.

The new server products only will be available if customers purchase a subscription license, which will entitle them to get support, product updates, and time-zone patches. Microsoft officials announced last fall that new, on-premises versions of Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, and Skype for Business will be released in the second half of 2021. Pricing of the Office 2021 SKU, however, won't change from the current Office perpetual SKU pricing.

Officials also noted that they plan to increase the pricing of Office Pro Plus Office Standard and the individual perpetual apps "by up to 10%" at the time of general availability. Instead, the Teams app will be part of the suite.

Office LTSC won't ship with the Skype for Business client, but the Skype for Business client app can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center for those who want/need it. The core of the Office perpetual SKUs won't change: They will still include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and other key apps. However, perpetual Office users still will get some new features, including accessibility improvements, capabilities like Dynamic Arrays and XLOOKUP in Excel, dark mode support across multipleĪpps, and performance improvements across Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint, officials said. Regulated devices that can't get feature updates for years at a time process control devices in manufacturing and other specialty systems that are locked are examples of cases where Microsoft isn't expecting customers to run the subscription versions of Office and where the perpetual versions make sense, execs said.īoth Office LTSC and Office 2021 will include a subset of the features and functionality that Office 365/Microsoft 365 subscribers get regularly with their downloaded Office apps. Microsoft is emphasizing that Office LTSC is meant for "a limited set of specific situations," not simply for customers who don't like the cloud/subscription model.

Update: Microsoft is not yet releasing the Office 2021 for Windows or Mac products. It also is releasing its first Office 2021 for Mac preview - which it says is also for larger business and government customers. Microsoft is delivering a first public preview of its Office Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release, the successor to Office 2019, designed for larger businesses and government users. Microsoft is making available today, April 22, the first preview releases of a couple of its promised next-generation "perpetual" (non-subscription) Office client products.
