Say goodbye to subscription costs with a Microsoft Office lifetime license for $49.97

TL;DR: Through May 31, jump on limited-time Memorial Day savings and get a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Pro 2021 including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more for $49.97. 

It's not just that PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and all their friends are popular. They're incredibly useful. The downside is that normally, Microsoft 365 isn't something you just buy once. Paying for a subscription just means you're renting your productivity. If you want to own it, you have to get a license that doesn't expire. 

Microsoft Office Pro 2021 for Windows has a few years on it, so this version might not have all the bells and whistles of the latest Microsoft 365 update, but you also don't have to pay for it every year. Once you get it, you got it, and it only costs $49.97 (reg. $219). That price is actually marked down a little extra for Memorial Day, so hop on it while it's here. 

How to avoid paying yearly for MS Office

Here's what you get with this Office license: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and the free version of Teams. You can use these apps however you want, whether it's at work or at home.

If you're used to Microsoft 365, Office's look may be different, but the important parts are all there. Word still has some great templates and Publisher is still an easy way to make flyers and posters. The big difference is you don't have to pay for them every year, so there's finally time to figure out what all the buttons in Excel do. 

Just remember that once your apps are installed, that's where they live. This license only allows you one installation on one computer, but then it's yours for life. That's what makes this such a good gift for office workers and students. The software you buy today could still be useful for years to come.
