Office 2019 is a lifetime Office version that is installable using a product key on a single PC (Professional Plus) or Mac (Home and Business). It will bind to a Microsoft account for future reinstallations even to a completely different device as long as only 1 active installation exists. In case of reinstallations, all you need to do is to sign in using the Microsoft account where you bound it to. This will also activate Office automatically. Businesses prefer this type of Office installation as the license is valid for commercial use. Many people also prefer this traditional non subscription based lifetime Office.
If you have bought multiple product keys, you can bind them on either a single or multiple Microsoft accounts for life. You will have an option on your Account page as shown below at https://account.microsoft.com/services to choose which product to install on the current PC. In our example below, we have 3 licenses across 2 different types of Office bound into a single Microsoft account that we can use to activate 3 installations of Microsoft Office. We can uninstall, reinstall and reactivate these 3 licenses unlimited number of times even on a totally different device as long as only 1 active installation per license exists.
IMPORTANT
This product key requires binding with your Microsoft account. ONCE BOUND, PLEASE USE YOUR MICROSOFT ACCOUNT AND NOT THE PRODUCT KEY WHEN ACTIVATING OFFICE 2019. The purpose of binding the key to your Microsoft account is to ensure you can reinstall and transfer your license unlimited number of times from one device to another. If you use a bound key to activate Office 2019 instead of your Microsoft account, it will create an endless product key has already been used error wherein, the only resolution will require an intervention from Microsoft support.
If you own previous releases of Microsoft Office below the 2019 version, it is of utmost importance that you remove them first before installing Office Professional Plus 2019 to prevent application errors. Microsoft Office is designed in a way that it only allows one installation and once license to exist in a single device. Pirated Office should also be thoroughly removed to ensure that the new installation can connect to Microsoft’s activation servers for activation.
