On the other hand, if you purchased Office 2011 or 2008, then you will have to purchase the new version, or restore your Mac to its previous state.
If you had purchased it with an Office 365 subscription, it would update for free to the latest version of Office 2019.
If that's the case, you could have purchased it as a stand-alone or via an Office 365 subscription. Based on what you said, you might have purchased Office 2016. Office 2016 was available in late 2015 - that's almost 5 years ago. Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 2019 both run in Mac OS 10.15.3 It sounds like you downloaded the newest version of Microsoft Office and, yes, of course it asks you to purchase the product.ĭo you have the installer for the Microsoft Office product you purchased years ago? If yes, then perhaps you can simply install the product you purchased and all will be fine. You haven't said exactly what version of Office you purchased, so it's not really possible to give you an answer at this point. There were always at least 2 or 3 different versions of Microsoft Office that ran in Mojave.
