As far as I know, yes, it is possible to install an already registered licence on a new workstation, but you will not be able to use them simultaneously.
The current versions of Microsoft Office are multilingual (German, French, Italian, English, ...) and cross-platform (Windows and Mac) and can freely determine the language of operation.
As this is the German version, it can only be installed in German. An Office account is required for activation.
There should be no problems downloading the software. This is a full licence for Office 2021 : Updates to improve the software are possible, but not an update to the next version.
This version contains only one licence, so unfortunately this will not work.
You can remove the licence from the device in the Microsoft account and assign it to another device. However, it can be assumed that you want to use the devices alternately, so this is not recommended for you.
You would need a version with at least 2 licences.
If you were to buy the software as a "download", you would simply get a key, which you would get with the CD anyway. Whether you install the programme from the internet or from the CD, I think it depends on the same thing.
Is that what you meant?
The "Office Home & Student 2021" software is licensed for one user. You can install it on your Macbook Air and work with your son on the same device using different user accounts. However, the licence is only valid for one user, which means that you cannot work with the software at the same time if you both use your own Microsoft accounts. If you want to work at the same time, an additional licence would have to be purchased.
Yes, this version of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021 includes the full versions of Word, PowerPoint and Excel. It is an unlimited licence for one user that can be installed on one device. The software is available in German and is supplied as a software box.
"Software" can only be a delivery as an installation code via email. Therefore, nothing is physically delivered. "Box" means that a box with a code and possibly also a data carrier is delivered by post.
As far as I know, the times of Microsoft upgrades are over in the Office segment. But the prices are lower now than they used to be. At least we still have the choice between a plan and a purchase.
Hello,
https://setup.office.com/ -> Create account (free), then enter the licence key. You will receive the product key to activate the installed MS Office.
If you have forgotten your login or it is no longer valid, etc., you have to contact MS yourself, which can be quite complicated and time-consuming.
Advise everyone to make a note of the MS login, to enter an alternative valid email address and a mobile number, as well as to log in to a Microsoft account (Outlook.com, or Hotmail) from time to time if this is not used as the Windows 10 login, otherwise the email address will be deleted after some time, which then becomes complicated (see above, first sentence).
The Office Home & Student 2019 version runs on macOS Big Sur, as Office 2019 for Mac is compatible with macOS 10.13 or newer. However, macOS Big Sur (version 11.x) is the oldest macOS version officially supported by the latest Office updates (until version 16.77 in September 2023). Newer Office updates no longer support macOS Big Sur, only macOS Monterey and higher.
This means that you can install and use Office Home & Student 2019 on your MacBook with macOS Big Sur, but the latest updates and functions are no longer guaranteed to be supported. For full compatibility, Microsoft recommends macOS Monterey or later.
