Jun 04, 2019 Applies to: Office for Mac, Office 2019 for Mac, Office 2016 for Mac. Apple has long encouraged application developers to adopt the 64-bit runtime environment, and we've been hearing from customers that 64-bit versions of Office for Mac are desirable to enable larger address spaces, better performance, and new innovative features. 2018-12-6 The best solution for you Office 2019 vs. Office 365: Which should you buy? I've worked with the suite Microsoft Office apps for a long time, and while I've tried other apps, I always come back. Mar 29, 2015 If you work for a large company the may offer the Microsoft Home Use program. A copy of office would cost you about $9.99(USD). If your looking for the full office suite then purchasing Office 2013 while expensive would be cheaper in the long run. This article applies to both Office 365 Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Enterprise. If your organization is using older versions of Office products and servers, this is a great time to start planning your upgrade. Office 2007 products and services have reached their end of support.
-->Summary: Compares different ways to update Office 365 ProPlus, including automatically from the Internet or from an on-premises location.
There are four ways that admins typically apply updates for Office 365 ProPlus:
- Automatically from the Internet
- Using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
- Automatically from an on-premises location
- By installing an updated version of Office 365 ProPlus
Which way is right for your organization depends on how much administrative effort you want to expend and how much control that you want to have over the update process.
In most cases, you use the Office Deployment Tool or Group Policy to configure the appropriate update settings.
Important
Because individual updates aren't available for Office 365 ProPlus, you can't use Windows Update or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to download and apply individual updates to Office 365 ProPlus.
Apply updates automatically from the Internet to Office 365 ProPlus
This is the default setting for Office 365 ProPlus. For example, if your users install Office 365 ProPlus themselves from the Office 365 portal, Office 365 ProPlus is configured to get updates automatically from the Internet. No additional user or administrative configuration is needed.
Even if you use the Office Deployment Tool to deploy Office 365 ProPlus to your users, you can configure updates to be applied automatically from the Internet.
This option might be a good choice for your organization if you have users who travel or work remotely and don't connect to the corporate network regularly. It's also the choice that requires the least amount of administrative effort. But, this option gives you the least amount of control over the update process.
Using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager has the ability to manage Office 365 client updates by using the Software Update management workflow. You can use Configuration Manager to update Office 365 ProPlus, Visio Online Plan 2 (previously named Visio Pro for Office 365), Project Online Desktop Client, and Office 365 Business. This gives you full control over the update deployment process, e.g. when which devices will receive a specific update. Please refer to Manage updates to Office 365 ProPlus with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager for an in-depth description.
Apply updates automatically from an on-premises location to Office 365 ProPlus
You can configure Office 365 ProPlus to get updates automatically from a location on your network, such as a network share. You can configure the update location by using the Office Deployment Tool or Group Policy.
This is a good option if you want more control over the version of Office 365 ProPlus that users have installed. For example, even if the June version of Office 365 ProPlus is available, you might want your users to continue using the May version. You might want to do this because you want to test to make sure that your line-of-business applications work with the June version.
You'll have to use the Office Deployment Tool to download updated versions of Office 365 ProPlus from the Internet to your local network. After it's downloaded, you can place the updated version on a network share that is close to the users.
Apply updates by installing an updated version of Office 365 ProPlus
Instead of using automatic updates, you can deploy an updated version of Office 365 ProPlus to your users by using the Office Deployment Tool. This option re-installs Office 365 ProPlus. You can use the Office Deployment Tool together with software distribution tools, such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or Microsoft Intune.
This option is useful if you want to control which version of Office 365 ProPlus users have, and you want to control which users get updated and when they get updated. This option provides the most control, but also requires the most administrative effort and has a high impact on user downtime and network load.
If you decide to use this option, you'll disable automatic updates. You can control that setting by using either the Office Deployment Tool or Group Policy.
