Review Power Apps Licensing Requirements
Understand why Power Apps is not included in your one-time purchase of Office 2019 and find out how to acquire the proper license.
Office Home and Business 2019 is a perpetual (one-time purchase) license. It provides core applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but does not include cloud-based enterprise services.
Microsoft Power Apps is a distinct business service that requires its own separate, paid subscription license for each user or tenant within an organization.
Open any Office application like Word, click on 'File', and select 'Account' to confirm you are using Office Home and Business 2019.
Navigate to the Microsoft Power Apps official website to explore the standalone subscription plans available for individual users or businesses.
Select either a 'Per app plan' or a 'Per user plan' depending on your organization's needs, and assign the new licenses to your Microsoft tenant.
Looking for a Cost-Effective Office Suite?
While enterprise tools like Power Apps require specialized Microsoft licenses, you don't have to overpay for your core productivity software. WPS Office is a powerful, free, and lightweight alternative for all your document, spreadsheet, and presentation needs.
