pasUNITY Enterprise Suite components that make use of
Microsoft Office components (primarily
Excel) now officially have support for
Microsoft Office 2019.
It should be noted, however, that components that automate
Microsoft Office 2019 using
COM component interfaces will need to ensure that
Microsoft Office 2019 was installed using the
SharedComputerLicensing option as detailed
here.
Microsoft Office 2019 is essentially just
Microsoft Office 2016 with some very minor updates from
Office 365 rolled in (the major version number did not even change). The only significant change is that
Microsoft is no longer providing
MSI installers and forcing everyone to use
Click-To-Run installers that may need to be customized by support staff using the
Office Deployment Tools in order to get them installed correctly on Remote Desktop servers or shared usage computers as they begin forcing customers into a subscription model for their Office and Windows products.
pasUNITY Enterprise Suite components affected by this release include:
- pasFusion: Officially supported with version 1.2.3.0 but all previous versions have been tested and found working without issue.
- pasTransfer: Officially supported with version 4.30.0.0 but all previous versions with support for Excel 2016 have been tested and found working as long as Office was installed using the SharedComputerLicensing option.
- pasUnity: Officially supported with version 4.42.0.0 but all previous versions with support for Excel 2016 have been tested and found working as long as Office was installed using the SharedComputerLicensing option.
