The one-time purchase also gets monthly updates until three years after its original release date, and then two years of security updates and bug fixes (but no new features) after that. In recent history, since 2015 or so, rather than waiting for a single great big new version every few years, Office now receives an update every month, and these updates bring both new features and bug fixes. If you'd rather only run monthly replace 0 14 * * 3 with 0 14 1 * *, but there's no real reason to.Microsoft Office for Mac has been around forever. It won't run if your laptop's off though (solutions here) although it only needs to run once every few attempts. To schedule with crontab type sudo crontab -e in Terminal (or iTerm etc), press i, and enter the following to run this every Wednesday at 2pm: # min hour day_of_month month day_of_week commandĠ 14 * * 3 sudo /usr/bin/touch -mt $(date "+%Y%m%d0001") "/Applications/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/ist"ġ 14 * * 3 sudo /usr/bin/touch -mt $(date "+%Y%m%d0001") "/Applications/Microsoft Excel.app/Contents/ist"Ģ 14 * * 3 sudo /usr/bin/touch -mt $(date "+%Y%m%d0001") "/Applications/Microsoft Powerpoint.app/Contents/ist"Īpple recommends another way to schedule on MacOS. Another thread suggests it is run after missing 3 updates. If so these commands will need running every 90 days. One thread suggests the nag is run after 90 days without an update. Ppowerpoint: sudo /usr/bin/touch -mt $(date "+%Y%m%d0001") "/Applications/Microsoft Powerpoint.app/Contents/ist"
Word: sudo /usr/bin/touch -mt $(date "+%Y%m%d0001") "/Applications/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/ist"Įxcel: sudo /usr/bin/touch -mt $(date "+%Y%m%d0001") "/Applications/Microsoft Excel.app/Contents/ist" This seems to have worked for me - extracted this from the ResetUpdateMessage script on William's answer.
