    OK I am eligible - but they only offer Office 365 in UK

    USA gets the option of Pro Plus - which is the whole caboodle installed locally rather than on-line
    Typical !!

    I was on the HUP site recently. Looks like its all 365 now.
    No more 'proper' office to install

    Office 365 is installed locally. It isn't online.

    Have you tried making the purchase of Office 2019 on the US Microsoft HUP website?
    The company I'm employed by is part of the HUP and I can opt to purchase either from the UK or USA websites.

    Once you've verified your work email address and signed in you'll see Office 365 subs at the top, but in the 'other office products' down at the bottom you should still be able to buy Office Pro Plus - it's quoting me £18.23.

    Thanks - I will have another look in a while

    OK my work email has been verified and I have tried the Pro Plus link on https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/b/office-home-use-program?rtc=1&wa=wsignin1.0&lc=2057 - Which takes me to :
    "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.
    The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available."


    I have now had it confirmed by MS - Office 2019 Pro Plus is not available in the UK under HUP - They have another option that costs £55 - which is over 5 times what a US resident pays !
