Microsoft Office includes some of the most popular and frequently used software on the planet. It also carries a high price tag, with a single license costing $349 for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and everything else in the Office lineup. Meanwhile, Microsoft 365 subscriptions start at $70 per year. If you need access to Microsoft Office for work or personal use and you don’t mind sticking with the 2021 version for awhile, there’s a cheap way to get the whole software suite right now. From now until October 12, you can snag a Microsoft Office Professional 2021 Lifetime License for just $36.
Microsoft Office Professional is a well-rounded package that should meet all your computing needs. This includes:
- MS Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- Outlook
- Teams
- OneNote
- Publisher
- Access
Your download links will become available as soon as your purchase is finalized, making it easy to get your software installed and start working. This purchase grants you a single license for a single PC, and it must be redeemed within 30 days of purchase. Most people will want to spring for the standard PC version, although Mac users will find a version that supports their OS on sale for the same price.
Not only is this a great deal for folks who will use the Office lineup every day, but it’s a great backup for everyone. Opening Word documents, Excel files, or PowerPoint presentations in third-party software can result in a bunch of funky formatting errors. But for just $36, you can permanently remedy that issue and ensure you always have the software needed for any incoming email attachments.
We should stress that buying a Microsoft Office license means you’re locked into the 2021 version, whereas Microsoft 365 users get the latest updates and new versions of the software as they release. However, the changes between each iteration of Microsoft Office are incremental–most people would likely be satisfied using the 2021 version for the next five years or so. And for $36, you really can’t go wrong here. Even if you decide to purchase new licenses in a year or so, you’re still getting great value.
This promotion price is only sticking around until October 12, so make sure you swing by and cash in on the savings while you can.
