Your days of shelling out monthly fees for Microsoft 365 could be over if you get a Microsoft Office lifetime license. This one-time purchase for unlimited access pays for itself in less than a year, making it a smarter choice for you and your business, especially when Windows downloads are $49.97 on StackSocial (Reg. $219.99) through April 27.

Lifetime licenses are a little different than Microsoft 365: you download the apps directly to your computer, so they aren’t cloud-based, continually updated, or accessible by mobile. But you will get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, and Access at your beck and call without fees. Plus, you’ll be able to avoid the upcoming Microsoft 365 price hike and gain access to apps that are set to be unsupported in the next year.

Since the download is tied to your PC, you will need to purchase separate licenses for each device. You also have to repurchase the license if you upgrade your device. In this case, the “lifetime license” applies to the lifetime of your computer.

Get your lifetime Microsoft Office 2021 download for Windows while licenses are on sale for just $49.97 (Reg. $219.99) until April 27 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Act while downloads are still available.
