Windows 10: Office Professional Plus 2-19 opens as Office 365

I am running Windows 10 Home Version 1903.

On a new notebook, I trialled Office 365 but ultimately decided to purchase Office Professional Plus 2019. Office activated correctly and on the office account shows that it is activated as Professional Plus 2019.

However, all Office applications open as Office 365, not Office 2019. I kept getting notifications that I would have to renew my subscription to keep using the product but the 31 day trial period is well over and the applications all seem to be working correctly.

Is there any way to get the Office package to open correctly as 2019 rather than 365?

Thanks.

office 365 vs office 2013

Not really. Office 365 Home Premium is the equivalent to Office Professional. Office Professional is $390 and you can only install it on one PC. Office 365 is $99.99 a year and you can install it on up to 5 PCs. So even if you have just one PC, it would take almost 4 years for 365 to match the cost of the stand alone version. And if you have 2 PCs the cost for the stand alone version soars to $780, thats almost 8 years of paying for 365...

 

Unable to install Microsoft office 2016 professional plus

I have a similar problem where a Office Professional Plus 2016 32-bit version has failed to install and is still unresolved. Here are my steps and the additional links from Microsoft which may work for you (but which have still not resolved my own problem)

Office 2016 Installation problem

Installing on a Windows 10 Desktop 8gm Rm running Office 2010 32-bit.

Microsoft advised us to first uninstall our old Office 2010 before installing the new Office 2016 program. Our Office 2010 had run well for 6 years, but that is when the installation problem began.

When trying to install the OFFICE 2016 32-bit package, it quickly stops with the following error:

When clearing that error, it always shows second error:

We researched blogs and found this problem to be very common whenever an older Office version was uninstalled prior to installing Office 2016, and we followed all the following suggestions (with full reboots each time).

1. RAN SFC on drive C: and found no errors.
   
2. Ran RUN %ProgramData% and renamed Office.help to Office.Help.Old
   
3. Ran the MS Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter.
   
4. Ran a Clean Boot.
   
5. Ran Control Panel - in startup found Windows Installer was on and set for Manual.
   
6. Went back to VLSC site 6 more times and downloaded a fresh Office 2016 (32-bit version) in case any files were corrupt, but I still got the same install messages.
   

Below are links to Microsoft that have worked for some, but not all, users. I believe Using Windows 10 UNIVSTALL (before) running the Office 2016 ISO file either removes an important registry entry, or inserts one that causes the new install to fail. Hopefully one of these will help you.
