Office 2019 - Microsoft Account needed?
I am still using Office 2007 but maybe it's time to think about upgrading or buying a completely new version if this is not possible.
Once again the prices of Office seem expensive. I'm not interested in Office 365 or any cloud based application but an Office version that is locally installed and without a Microsoft account. Can I do this? I think I read somewhere that this is not possible with Office 2019.
Older versions of a locally installed Office (e.g. Office Home and Student 2007) could be installed on three computers but I don't know if this is possible with the newer versions.
My other concern is security. With a Microsoft Account is there not a danger that personal data from a computer is backed up in the cloud whether intentionally or non intentionally? (here I am thinking of Google Android mobile settings where a back up or record of a process is switched off but somehow it isn't...).
