Windows 10: Warning Office 2019 Cheap License users on W10 21390.1 (Co-release)

Hi there There 's a load of reports that those who use the Cheap Office 2019 Licenses after installing / updating to the Windows 10 Build 21390.1 (Co-release) that their Office 2019 products always starts with a Warning screen -- This license is not genuine -- so AYOR if you buy cheap licenses from dubious sources. !!!!! The product will work but you'll get continual nag warnings. If you still get these warnings and you rekon you have a legit license then activate by phone - Ms can quickly determine if license is genuine and can try and stamp out some of these Pirate sellers that do nobody any good. Even if the product indicates it's activated you may still get the "Nag Screen". I've made 2 people so far switch to Office/365 - although some cheap licenses are still valid. You need to totally uninstall the offending 2019 Office products and do a proper scan for things like hidden kms activators etc that may have been used for activation but hide themselves from typical users. Some of the "Activators" are quite sophisticated and are hidden from A/V software nd malware detection so because your A/V software doesn't report anything you can't be 100% certain that these things aren't present on those cheap OFFICE 2019 installs. So if you do use dubious cheap licenses -- it's a real lottery -- future updates will surely make even more stringent tests. Nothing wrong with Office 2019 if you want to use it but get it from a proper legitimate source - there are some discounters around but those rediculously cheap ones are probably pirated keys from MSDN or whatever.

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
