Where can I purchase the MS Office 2021 one time purchase? I tried in the Microsoft website but when I click the link it redirects to Microsoft365 or Microsoft 2024 instead. Please do not give me links to pirate. I am willing and able to buy a subscription. Its just that I want 2021 because maybe it will be cheaper but at least a legit purchase from microsoft.

Hi all,

Does anyone using 2021 one-time purchase know whether other local accounts on the device will get access to the Office suite without the need to log in with the license-holders info?

I'm tossing up between buying the one off Office 2021 from amazon against an Office 365 subscription. I'm curious how the one off download of office 2021 works? I understand you can only install it on one computer. But what happens if you format that computer? Did you just lose your office 2021? Can you reinstall it? How does it all work

Recently bought a new MacBook Air. And looking to install Microsoft office on it. My question is should I buy Microsoft Office 2021 or wait for Microsoft office 2023 or 2024 release?

Any idea when is the office 2023 or 2024 going to be released?

Thanks

I just want to make sure i dont buy something that won't work after purchase because I've never seen a one time purchase for ms office.

It’s annoying that I can’t use the Microsoft Suite on my iPad. Just got the new Magic Keyboard and this device is a total productivity monster, if only that I could use the Microsoft suite in, because getting a 365 subscription seems to be a little too expensive and pointless.

What can be done?

I have an old MBP laptop where I run Microsoft 2019 and have reinstalled it a few times when I've formatted my laptop. I'm a solo user. I have a new laptop and was going to install it - but I assume I'd need to uninstall it on my old - I assume it's one license, one device at a time, but not sure. Anyway, I was looking at some deals where you can buy a one-time license for either MS Office 2019 or 2024. These ones seem to say download one time for one computer - which reads different than when I bought 2019. Does anyone know if I can ever reinstall it if I end up reformatting a computer or if I get a new computer in the future, or is it literally one install one time and that's it? Anyone have any experience with both versions - is one better than the other? I am not interested in a subscription model as I don't use it that much to make it worth it, and certainly not interested in saving to the cloud. In the last year, I seem to recall MS announcing some features that seemed kind of invasive for privacy, but I think it was because you saved everything to the cloud. Not interested in that. Thanks for any feedback.

I like to use Word and Excel for my hobbies as I find they’re much easier to use than Google Docs and Sheets and they don’t require me to open my documents in my web browser, however the cost seems to be where I’m having second thoughts. Unfortunately the price of $8.00+tax/mo is too much for me to afford at the moment due to the cost of other more essential bills increasing. Is there a more cost effective way to purchase Word and Excel? I do not need all the other programs; no PowerPoint, no OneNote, no Outlook, etc.

Besides switching to Google’s alternative, what would you suggest?

It's a legit offer, but... it's just a single PC license.

• Lifetime license for MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, & Access

• One-time purchase installed on 1 Windows PC for use at home or work

To find the offer, go to the boingboing store and scroll down until you see the offer.

I do not want any yearly subscription BS, so Office 365 is out. I just need Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, so the "Home & Student" version is good enough.

There was a time students got pretty good discounts. (I do have access to a .edu account.)

All the "deals" I've seen seem to be invalid resold volume license keys.

I'm trying to choose between the 2 products. On one hand, I like the idea of owning the software and I've always owned one. And I don't look forward to paying $99 per year just to lease it when you can get Office 2021 for around $129.

So Office 2021 seems to be a good deal, right? But is there any difference between Office 20221 and Office365? I mainly use Excel: is Excel in Office365 a more advanced version with certain functions not available via Office 2021? For example, I use xlookup a lot and I know that's available via Office 2021 (I'm currently using Office 2010). When is the next major release of Office?

Plus is there any issue with privacy when using Office365? The thing is constantly updating in the background so any danger of uploading your important and private documents and data?

I upgraded my wife's laptop PC from the 7 year old one she's been using and I'm doing all the data transfer and setup and everything. She said she needs just the basics; Word, Excel PowerPoint, and Outlook.

I remember back in the day I'd just buy the actual disk with the product key on the back or DL'ed the program and the paid for a product key and that copy of Microsoft Office was "yours" or whatever. Now it seems to be some sort of ongoing subscription service?? Yeah, no... I don't want to deal with a subscription. I've got enough subscription services in my life and don't need one for software on my PC. I'll go the third part software route before.

Is there a way to just buy these Microsoft office programs outright like before? She doesn't even need the latest/greatest releases like Office 365 or whatever? Older 2021 or whatever versions are fine I'm sure.

I'm interested in buying Microsoft Office for my macbook. I know Office 365 is the main way to purchase Microsoft Office now, but I don't really want to pay $80-100 a year to use Word and Excel. Is it still possible to buy a non-subscription version anymore?

I would like to download Word, Powerpoint, and Excel on my home computer as these programs are required for my job. However, I am unsure which would be better: a yearly subscription or a one time purchase.

Here is some information on my current situation:

• I use these program to create and use work files.

• I have also used these programs for personal use for years.

• My home internet is often slow.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the replies! I decided to go with the one-time purchase. The only upside I see with the subscription is the cloud storage but I probably wouldn't use it.

I wanted to add that I cannot download Microsoft Office on my personal computer despite my job. I have tried and this is the message I receive: "You currently have not been assigned an Office license that includes the Office desktop apps.". I will not be responding to anymore comments on the matter, however I appreciate that people took the time to write down this information.

Have a customer who needs legit Office, just needs Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but they want perpetual one-time purchase. Looks like Office Home 2024 is least expensive option. Is there any other way that is less expensive?

Hello everyone.

I installed and activated Windows 11 not long ago. As an average client, I didn't know I have to separately acquire the Office packet in order to work in Word, Excel & Powerpoint (literally the main point of getting my PC).

I navigated through the options but Windows 11 continues to harass me with monthly subscription. I'm a old schooler, I want to purchase an activation code for a one-time payment for the Office programs. I dislike the subscription system for services that has invaded the world.

Also, as an old timer, I don't want anything to do with OneDrive and online or cloud-based office tools, I have several HDDs for backup. Can anyone help me with this? Is it still possible to just pay and play, meaning having the Office programs locally in my PC and call it a day?

So i have been an Office 365 family subscriber for the last few years. I have decided to cancel this year as most of the users in my house hold don’t use it and i find myself rarely using it, except for outlook.

I would like to just purchase the one off license for my personal computer just for the odd occasion that I use it. The key is to have outlook though.

Seems like the license from Microsoft that includes outlook is very expensive, however there are plenty of 3rd party sellers that sell it at a fraction of the price. What’s the catch? Are there any risks or is it legit?

I am worried that the license would work the first time but if i every needed to re-install the software it wouldn’t work again. Has anyone had any experience with these 3rd party sellers?

Thanks you!!
