Of the many versions that have been released, maybe Microsoft Office 2019 is the only version that Microsoft is reluctant to promote. The reason is, Microsoft wants its users to switch to the subscription model, namely Office 365.
But because many users want to use Microsoft Office offline without depending on the cloud and don't want to pay monthly or yearly, Microsoft Office 2019 was released.
Initially, the reluctance was just speculation that was circulating because Microsoft was not as active as usual in promoting one of its main products. Finally, Microsoft released a video advertisement that compared Microsoft Office 2019 with Office 365. The video explicitly stated that users should use Office 365 if they want to be more productive.
When compared just from its features, Office 365 is indeed superior to Microsoft Office 2019. Unfortunately, the payment system adheres to a subscription model. If Microsoft had implemented the same payment system as Microsoft Office 2019, maybe the number of Office 365 users would have been greater than the current number of users.

Microsoft Office 2019 vs Below Versions
However, when compared to Microsoft Office 2016 and earlier versions, Microsoft Office 2019 is still better.
This version includes Focus Mode to focus attention on the document being worked on, Learning Tools for comfortable reading, Morph for more spectacular transition effects, and many other features.
With all the new capabilities that Microsoft Office 2019 carries, it's only natural that user enthusiasm remains as high as before every time a new version of Microsoft Office is released. This can be proven by the large number of users who are looking for information on the internet about how to install and activate Microsoft Office 2019.
Conclusion:
Why do Microsoft Office 2019 or Microsoft Office 2016, or Microsoft Office 2013, need to be activated before it can be used? Broadly speaking, its main purpose is to prevent piracy.
Apart from that, activation is also required so that Microsoft Office 2019 cannot be used on more than one computer. If commercial software is not accompanied by activation technology, then the software can usually be installed on any computer.
Activating Microsoft Office 2019 is quite a hassle, but after that, you will get official support in the form of regular updates. Microsoft Office 2019 users will never get new features again through updates, but updates to patch security holes are just as important.
