A combined installer covering both recent perpetual generations of the suite, letting you pick which release goes on the machine from one download rather than tracking down two separate packages.
Read the installation section below before you start. The order of the steps matters on this release.
About this release
Overview
This package holds both perpetual generations in one installer. At setup you choose which release to install, which architecture, which applications and which languages. For anyone maintaining a mixed office where some machines need the older release for compatibility with an add-in and others should get the newer one, it removes the need to keep two archives around.
The newer release is the one to pick unless something forces your hand. It carries the full modern Excel function set with dynamic arrays, LAMBDA and the current lookup family, the reworked interface with the system following theme, improved Outlook search performance, PowerPoint recording with presenter video, and better handling of large files across all applications.
Both generations install the complete professional line-up: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and OneNote. Activation is applied during setup with no separate step. As with any perpetual release, once it is installed nothing changes underneath you, which is the entire reason people choose these over a subscription.
