Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows: Lifetime License

$ 59.99 at The Mashable Shop
$ 219.99 Save $ 160.00

Must-have apps like Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are cornerstones of pretty much any type of digital productivity. They’re also pretty expensive if you’re paying for them every month or year. The alternative is to get a slightly older lifetime license for Microsoft Office, which is exactly what you can do with this limited-time sale. 

Here’s your chance to get a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Pro 2021 (Windows) for your device at only $ 39.97 (reg. $ 219.99). 

If it’s real, then why is it so cheap?

Instead of looking at sketchy software downloads, use this hack to get all the apps you need with one purchase. The reason this lifetime license is so cheap is because it’s not the most recent version of this software, and you can also only install each app on one device. Microsoft 365 is the subscription service that gets you all the recent apps, but the tradeoff is you’re basically renting apps you used to be able to own. 

This license comes with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams (free version), OneNote, Publisher, and Access. It’s the classic productivity suite, and for students, remote workers, and household budgeters, it might be all you need. The license lasts as long as your device does — no recurring costs ever. 

Got an old computer? One of the hidden benefits of opting for older software is they often have lighter hardware requirements. All you need to run these apps are Windows 10 or 11, 1GB RAM, 4GB hard disk space, and a modern monitor.

Is Microsoft Office Pro 2021 worth it for the price?

At the normal price of $ 219.99 for a lifetime license, Office Pro 2021 would be worth it for professionals who need to cut down on their day-to-day costs by removing subscriptions. At this drastically reduced (and limited-time) price, Office Pro 2021 is worth it for everyone from students who need reliable apps for homework to household browsers who just want an easy way to update their budget. 

Don’t miss your chance to get Microsoft Office Pro 2021 for Windows for $ 39.97. No coupon is needed, but this sale only lasts through July 21 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
