Upgrade Office 2019 to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise
Microsoft Office
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
This policy setting allows you to upgrade volume licensed versions of Office Professional Plus 2019 to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. Note: For the user to be able to use Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, you must have purchased an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 plan that includes Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and you must have assigned the user a license to use Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. If you enable this policy setting, the installed volume licensed version of Office 2019 on the user's computer will be upgraded to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. We also recommend that you use Group Policy to specify an update path and an update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. Note: If there are volume licensed versions of Visio and Project on the user's computer, those won't be upgraded to subscription versions of Visio and Project. If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Office 2019 isn't automatically upgraded to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. But, you can initiate the upgrade by using some other method, such as by using the Office Deployment Tool.
