Upgrade Office 2019 to 2024

When support for office 2019 was discontinued I purchased the upgraded to office 2024. This is working properly. In an earlier version of Office Professional I had "Publisher". Later upgrades discontinued Publisher so I no longer have it. I'm now trying to find Publisher once again as Office 2024 does not include it. Is there a version of office that still includes Publisher? Possibly there is a stand alone version of Publisher available or even a non-Microsoft program that will take it's place.. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

    You have the option of using a standalone version of the software. Microsoft no longer sells Publisher as a standalone product on its primary storefront, but you should be able to purchase the Microsoft Office Professional 2021 suite, which is a one-time purchase that includes Publisher alongside the core apps like Word and Excel. You can still find legitimate retail keys from authorized third-party sellers and established tech retailers like CDW or My Choice Software, where prices for the full suite often range between $200 and $400 depending on the specific licensing terms. Some specialized software vendors like Digital License and FastSoftwares still list individual keys for Publisher 2021 specifically, often at a lower price point around $50 to $100, though you should verify their current stock and activation guarantees before buying. Be careful with extremely low-priced "lifetime" deals on unfamiliar sites, as these are often volume licenses not intended for individual resale and may be deactivated by Microsoft later.
