I bought Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac to use it permanently in my Macbook and it was working perfectly until Microsoft suddenly interfered my software version "ending support" which I don't need because Excel, Word and PowerPoint were working perfectly and I did not need any support from MS for this. Now I can't save my works just "read", Microsoft is forcing me to use Office 365 with a paid subscription.
How can reinstall my proper Office and register? A No answer is not acceptable.
Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.

we have the same question. It forced me to upgrade to office 365 that I need to pay money again and again.
should we find a lawyer to solve this problem?
You don't have to get a subscription version. You can get a current one-time payment product, such as Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024.
Note that you need macOS 12 or later. Under macOS 12, you won't be able to install the most recent version of Office, though. See https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2023/03/most-recent-office-you-can-run-best-practices/ .
Alternatively, you can make use of open source software. See a previous reply of mine.
You can send feedback to Microsoft via the portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ . Keep in mind that decision makers at Microsoft do read all feedback submitted in the portal, but they don't follow the Q&A forum.

To run Office on your Mac, you'll need at least macOS 12 and you also need a version of Office which licenses release 16.83 or later. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/officeinstall/update-m365-office-macos-ios and https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2023/03/most-recent-office-you-can-run-best-practices/ . You don't have to get a subscription version. You can get Office Home & Business 2024 which is a one-time payment license. Alternatively, you can try an open source suite such as LibreOffice, which offers decent file compatibility with Microsoft Office.
