Can someone do me a favour (based in the UK preferably) and try and go to the Microsoft Home Use Program link (https://www.microsofthup.com/ ) and tell me if they get re-directed to another Microsoft link?

I get redirected to a https://www.microsoft.com link - but has been this case for a while, at least since I last renewed (6 months plus ago at least)
Thanks for the confirmation. I get the same link as @Vargas .
@BongoHunter I'm guessing you've tried your (work) email address on the re-directed page that Vargas posted? It doesn't like my work email and it's not that we're no longer eligible for the program.
I picked up Office 2019 in October last year using the usual link (logged in without problems after following the confirmation email) but went to show a work colleague today and got the same re-directed page.

Its been a few weeks now but it looks like MS have removed the one off payment of standalone Office to discounted Office 365 sub instead.
Glad I got my Office 2016 and 2019 when I did as I don't see the alternative better value for money. Unless you care about extra OneDrive storage.
I did get into the HUP site while I was at work (had to go back on the browser button and it loaded the correct site) but it would only show everything in USD $. It would show my purchases when I logged in and would offer all versions available via HUP to my work colleague, only difference was that it was priced as $14.99 rather than the £11.99.
Had to do one of these for my friend who just got a new laptop. Now it only showing Office 365 available to purchase.
When you look at the bottom, Office 2019 for 1 user, the link is broken? Has MS finally removed it, anyone else got the same problem?

Yes glad i got my 2016 version couple of years ago, though i do recall it been a web based installation unlike my 2010 copy which had option to download full installation for offline install. Cant even remember if it gives you an activation key to use or if it does the activation as part of the login/download. Been so long since i bought and installed it. Only concern is they deactivate the online download for older installs if you ever need to install it again
