   I purchased a "perpetual" license for Office 2019 for Mac some years ago. In the last few months, a key certificate expired, and completely bricked the software.

   MSFT is well aware of the issue, but has decided that they are no longer supporting Office 2019, despite the "perpetual" license.

   This is clearly planned obsolescence and false advertising. A state AG should investigate.

      That's a competing OS issue, not a perpetual Office issue (2013 is still running fine for me, but best not to open untrusted docx)
