StarOffice#Oracle Open Office

StarWriter 1.0 was written by Marco Börries in 1985 for the Zilog Z80. Börries formed Star Division in Lüneburg the following year.{{cite web|url=http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=A_Brief_History_Of_OpenOffice.org&oldid=186681|title=A Brief History Of OpenOffice.org|date=13 October 2010|work=OpenOffice.org Wiki|publisher=Apache Software Foundation |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709182027/https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=A_Brief_History_Of_OpenOffice.org&oldid=186681 |archive-date= Jul 9, 2023 }} It was later ported to the Amstrad CPC (marketed by Schneider in Germany) under CP/M and later ported to the 8086-based Amstrad PC-1512, running under MS-DOS 3.2. Later, the integration of the other individual programs followed as the development progressed to an office suite for DOS, IBM's OS/2 Warp, and for the Microsoft Windows operating system. From this time onwards Star Division marketed its suite under the name "StarOffice."

Until version 4.2, Star Division based StarOffice on the cross-platform C++ class library StarView. In 1998 Star Division began offering StarOffice for free.

Sun Microsystems acquired the company, copyright and trademark of StarOffice in 1999 for {{USD|73.5 million}},{{cite web |url=http://news.cnet.com/Sun-shelled-out-73.5-million-for-Star-Division/2100-1001_3-232561.html |title=Sun shelled out $73.5 million for Star Division |first1=Stephen |last1=Shankland |date=November 9, 1999 |website=CNET News |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626090829/http://news.cnet.com/Sun-shelled-out-73.5-million-for-Star-Division/2100-1001_3-232561.html |archive-date=2015-06-26 }} as it was supposedly cheaper than 42,000 licenses of Microsoft Office.{{cite web|url=http://www.h-online.com/open/features/OpenOffice-at-the-crossroads-1023702.html?page=2|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131208042359/http://www.h-online.com/open/features/OpenOffice-at-the-crossroads-1023702.html?page=2|archive-date=8 December 2013|work=The H Open|publisher=Heinz Heise|title=OpenOffice at the crossroads: Every bug is a feature|page=2|first=Richard|last=Hillesley|date=21 June 2010|access-date=20 June 2013|quote=Simon Phipps, now an ex-Sun employee, later claimed that "The number one reason why Sun bought StarDivision in 1999 was because, at the time, Sun had something approaching forty-two thousand employees. Pretty much every one of them had to have both a Unix workstation and a Windows laptop. And it was cheaper to go buy a company that could make a Solaris and Linux desktop productivity suite than it was to buy forty-two thousand licenses from Microsoft." }}

In March 2009, a study showed that StarOffice only had a 3% market share in the corporate market.{{cite web |last=McLeish |first=Sheri |date=2009-05-26 |title=Microsoft Office still owns the desktop, future of StarOffice unclear |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-office-still-owns-the-desktop-future-of-staroffice-unclear/ |access-date=2012-05-07 |publisher=ZDnet}}

StarSuite was the version of StarOffice with Asian language localization. It included Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese interfaces. It also included additional fonts for the East Asian market, resulting in slightly larger installation footprint. Otherwise the features were identical to StarOffice.

The two brands existed because a StarOffice brand was owned by another company in certain Asian countries.{{cite web|url=http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/faqs.jsp |title=FAQs for StarOffice Software |publisher=Sun.com |date=2009-02-17 |access-date=2009-08-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830110450/http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/faqs.jsp |archive-date=2009-08-30 |url-status=dead }} Currently NEC produces StarOffice collaborative software (unrelated to the one discussed here) in Japan.{{cite web|url=https://jpn.nec.com/staroffice/ |title=グループウェア:セキュリティに強いおすすめStarOffice: ソフトウェア |trans-title=Security-friendly cloud-oriented groupware StarOffice |quote=StarOffice X V5.2 released |website=www.nec.co.jp |year=2019 |access-date=2019-10-14}} After Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems (in January 2010) it renamed both StarOffice and StarSuite as "Oracle Open Office".{{cite web|url=http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/open-office/index.html |title=Oracle's OpenOffice Page |access-date=2010-04-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206170712/http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/open-office/index.html |archive-date=2010-12-06 }}

The resultant free/open source software codebase fork continued development as older discontinued components, with contributions from both Sun and the wider OpenOffice.org community. Sun then took "snapshots" of the OpenOffice.org code base, integrated proprietary and third-party code modules, and marketed the package commercially.

StarOffice 5.2 was the last version to contain the programs listed under older discontinued components. It was also the last version to support multiple virtual desktops, previously available from within the Suite.

Supported platforms included: MS Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Linux i386, Solaris Sparc/x86.

A beta version of 6.0 (based on OpenOffice.org 638c) was released in October 2001;{{Cite web |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/staroffice-shaping-up-as-true-office-alternative-5000296788/ |title=StarOffice shaping up as true Office alternative |website=ZDNet |access-date=2013-09-19 |archive-date=2014-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140111002216/http://www.zdnet.com/news/staroffice-shaping-up-as-true-office-alternative/296788 |url-status=live }} the final 6.0 (based on OpenOffice.org 1.0) was released in May 2002.{{Cite web |url=http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/1839362/firms-reject-microsoft-licence-plan |title=Firms reject Microsoft licence plan{{spaced ndash}}17 May 2002{{spaced ndash}}Computing News |date=17 May 2002 |access-date=2013-09-19 |archive-date=2015-09-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923210012/http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/1839362/firms-reject-microsoft-licence-plan |url-status=live }}

Oracle bought Sun in January 2010 and quickly renamed StarOffice as Oracle Open Office.{{cite web|url=http://www.newformat.se/documents/oracle/oracle-open-office-features-overview-060550.pdf|title=Oracle Open Office: Features Overview: An Oracle White Paper|date=January 2010|publisher=Oracle Corporation|access-date=20 September 2013}}

On 15 December 2010, Oracle released Oracle Open Office 3.3, based on OpenOffice.org 3.3 beta, and a web-based version called Oracle Cloud Office.{{cite web|url=http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/195766|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101217212955/http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/195766|archive-date=17 December 2010|title=Oracle Announces Oracle Cloud Office and Oracle Open Office 3.3: Industry's First Complete, Open Standards-Based Office Productivity Suites for Desktop, Web and Mobile Users|publisher=Oracle Corporation}}{{cite web|url=http://www.golem.de/1012/80148.html|language=de|access-date=2012-05-07|title=Kostenpflichtiges Oracle Open Office 3.3 veröffentlicht|publisher=Golem.de|date=2010-12-15|first1=Jens|last1=Ihlenfeld|first2= Ingo|last2=Pakalski}} The suite was released in two versions, sold at {{euro|39}} and {{euro|49.95}}.

Traditionally, StarOffice licenses sold for around {{USD|70}}, but in 2004, Sun planned to offer subscription-based licenses to Japanese customers for about {{yen|1,980}} ({{USD|17}}) per year (Becker, 2004). P. Ulander, a desktop products manager for Sun, acknowledged that Sun planned to expand subscription-based licenses to other countries as well. In January 2009, Sun's website offered StarOffice for {{USD|34.95}}.{{cite web |title=Get StarOffice Software |publisher=Sun Microsystems |url=http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/get.jsp |access-date=2009-01-16}}

Sun used a per-person license for StarOffice, compared to the per-device licenses used for most other proprietary software. An individual purchaser gains the right to install the software on up to five computers. For example, a small-business owner can have the software on laptop, office and home computers, or a user with a computer running Microsoft Windows, and another running Linux, can install StarOffice on both computers.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

In 2010, StarOffice 9 Software was no longer offered free of charge to education customers, but StarOffice 8 could still be used without charge. The free OpenOffice.org 3.0, with the same functionality as StarOffice 9, could also be used. Sun also offered free web-based training and an online tutorial for students and teachers, free support services for teachers (including educational templates for StarOffice) and significantly discounted technical support for schools.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

OpenOffice.org was open source, and gave rise to many derivative versions and successor projects to StarOffice. {{As of|2024}}, Collabora Online and LibreOffice are still actively developed. Apache OpenOffice is mostly dormant and has not seen a new major release for over 10 years. NeoOffice was also a derivative, but announced that it was no longer active in early 2024.
