Yes. Office Home & Student 2019 for Mac is a one-time (perpetual) license, so the Word desktop app will continue to run after July 13, 2026.

Support for Office 2019 for Mac ended on October 13, 2023, and connections from Office 2019 to Microsoft 365 cloud services (such as Exchange Online and SharePoint Online) are no longer supported as of October 2023, but the local functionality of Word 2019 for Mac remains available. That includes:

  • Creating new Word documents
  • Editing existing Word documents
  • Saving documents locally (and to any storage location your Mac can access, such as local disk or compatible file shares)

What is lost is support and cloud connectivity, not the core ability of the app to open, edit, and save files on the Mac.
