So far, Apple has broken only the installer, which no longer runs in current versions of Mac OS X. You can continue using Office 2008 forever as long as you or Apple don't change hardware or Mac OS in a way that breaks it. There are no recent updates.Īll 2008 licenses are perpetual and do not expire. There haven't been any updates for a long, long time. Office 2008 has been discontinued for years. I suspect this is an attack and is not legitimate. I've seen several reports of this in the past few days. But the entire experience was very frustrating and not a little enraging - it's a very aggressive case of forced obsolescence on MS's part that crosses the line in my opinion.

I did ultimately solve the issue by purchasing new Office software since I was overdue for an upgrade and as a professional writer needed access asap to all my Word docs. An MS help agent suggested that but we ultimately couldn't find O365 installed anywhere on my computer to begin with so there was nothing to un-install. I've downloaded that too and plan to copy all my old Word docs into it so I'm not dependent on Microsoft going forward.

Another option is to just use Pages from Apple, which is free to download for Mac owners and apparently functions way better since it's designed for their OS. A few glitches at first but now it's working fine and can now access all my docs.Īnd it allowed me to avoid subscribing indefinitely to Office365 which isn't what I wanted. I couldn't get around the issues so ended up buying the latest copy of Office for Mac for $130 on Amazon and just installed it. Ok good luck Kristen, hope that solves the problems for you. It was a nasty surprise this morning when i could no longer revise a file that I needed. If i come across anything else, i will let you know.

I hate the idea of subscriptions as i have a laptop and desktop, and am looking at a full priced version if my reinstall doesnt work. I waa thinming of reinstalling the discs as I’m thankful i just came across mine. I have my computer set to automatic updates so my OS should have been as current as possible. I’m sorry it happened to you too as i was hoping it was a glitch. Please do the same if you find a way out of this mess - thanks, Paul. Will let you know if I find anything out. They finally suggested trying Apple support to see if they could figure it out, so that's my next step for now. Another possible solution they suggested was to update my DNS setting and then restart my computer. They then said because my version is obsolete they can't actually fix it remotely. I downloaded a free software to help me find it and provided it to them. Then they said if I could provide them with the product key # they could verify my purchase and they'd be able to fix the issue remotely.Īgain, they couldn't tell me where to find that number in my Office application files because my version is no longer supported.
One possible solution they suggested was to reinstall my MS Office software if I still have the disks. I think it's an incompatibility issue between older Office versions and the new High Sierra OS on Mac - did you recently upgrade to that as I did?
I gave up at one point and just decided to subscribe to Office365 but even that isn't working - I get a 'Sorry we're not able to complete your purchase at this time try again later' message over and over again. They say because my version is 'obsolete' (it's 2008) it's longer supported so they can't help me figure this out, all they can do is press me to subscribe to Office365 instead. I've spent the whole day trying to resolve it by chatting with a few different MS help agents and so far no progress. Hi Kristen, I'm having the exact same issue, and it just happened yesterday for me too.
