Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021: Lifetime License for $49


I would be all over this if I had any need for it, but LibreOffice more than satisfies my office needs now that I'm retired. And it costs a lot less than $50. :wink:

On the darker one, you can't unpin all that 'Autosave' crap, on the clean one, I obviously can!

All positive posts relate to instances of installation within the last coupla days ....

Could simply mean that the Microsoft license algorithm has accepted the right combination, in the correct order, of characters in the license. Later down the track, probably during an update process, MS's further check will find the license is a volume key, a previous activation, or similar, and kill the installation.

Let's wait for a few months and see how "life-time" this is, given the fact that is absolutely no such thing as an MS Office Life-Time license !!!

Fool - money - parted.

I got Office Pro for a least a year for the price of a case of beer!
I've spent 50 bucks on a lot more stupider things than that! :cool:

Hi everyone, super interested in that deal.

I just had one question. It seems like when you get the deal, they only send you the license key.

How do you go about downloading Office Professional Plus 2021?

I've got a new laptop that came pre-installed with Office 365. I don't like it, the design and ribbon options are slightly different to an offline Office version. Also for some reason, it's not automatically saving my files saved on my Onedrive.

I suspect you're using the pre-installed version in trial mode. One day, the "subscribe" pop-ups will start appearing ...

Be careful of saving files to OneDrive. Many-a-thread in many-a-forum has ended in tears because users think this is the way OD should be used, just because MS says so.

Save any files you've been working on in 365. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features and Uninstall any/all versions of Microsoft Office.

Buy the key, go to Setup Office or Microsoft 365 – Enter your product key and log in with your Microsoft Account, it will ask for that key you bought. Enter that, then after you'll be presented with your Account Purchases and you'll see a small "Install" link to the right of the version of Office you just bought, click that and it will download a small installer that you do not need to enter your key into, it's automatic/digital at this point. Wait a few minutes, then Enjoy.

Thanks for the warning, I'll keep that in mind for Onedrive.

With regards to how to download Office Professional Plus, any idea how it works?

I have sensitive information on my laptop and I don't want to download Office from a .torrent or something. If I get this Office license, is there a way for me to download a legit copy of office directly from Microsoft?

Hey man, thank you very much for that.
Really appreciate you taking the time to detail the whole process for me. I'm glad to see that you can download Office directly from Microsoft once you enter the key.

Also big thanks to OP for sharing that deal. It couldn't come at a better time for me :)

StackSocial was running a similar deal (same price) that I was going to post, but at the time didn't know the rules on that and they sold out of the PC copies, but they still have licenses for Mac.

Yuppers!
When I see things like: "Link valid for 24 hours" or "Redeem your purchase within 30 days", I like to go get the stuff and have it! :wink:
