Microsoft Office BusinessPro
Microsoft · Microsoft Office BusinessPro installer for Mac, distributing Office applications and business components in a single Microsoft package.
Microsoft Office BusinessPro is Office software for Mac. It needs macOS 14 or later.
About
Microsoft Office BusinessPro is the Microsoft 365 and Office business installer for macOS distributed by Microsoft. The Homebrew cask installs the official BusinessPro PKG rather than a separate document editor. Its package records include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote, together with business components such as OneDrive, Teams, Defender and the Microsoft 365 Copilot shim. Availability and activation depend on the applicable Microsoft license; installing the package does not provide a subscription.
Microsoft publishes Office for Mac update history and application-specific release notes. Features may roll out gradually, and some require a Microsoft 365 subscription or a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Microsoft documents updating Office through an application's Help > Check for Updates menu using Microsoft AutoUpdate; administrators can also deploy individual update packages. This Homebrew cask explicitly deselects the Microsoft AutoUpdate component during PKG installation, so administrators should account for that installer choice when planning updates.
Microsoft's current release notes require macOS 14 Sonoma or later to receive Office updates, including security updates. Older installed applications may continue working but no longer receive those updates. Check Microsoft's requirements and your organization's licensing before deployment.
Install with brew install --cask microsoft-office-businesspro. This listing is the exact BusinessPro installer cask, not a different Microsoft Office or Copilot package. No official source-code repository for this proprietary installer was established.
