Act Fast to Get a Lifetime Microsoft Office License for Just $25

If you’re a student or someone who works from home sometimes, or you’re just trying to sort your home budget out in a more efficient way, then access to Microsoft Office can really help. Well, thanks to a big deal on StackSocial, you can currently get lifetime access to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 for just $25, which is an absurdly low price. We don’t know how long this deal will last though, so act fast if you want it. 

Mac users will get the Home and Business suite of apps, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams Classic and OneNote. Windows users will get the Professional Plus version, with additional apps like Publisher and Access. Just keep in mind that you won’t get Microsoft Teams on the Windows version. 

This isn’t the latest version of Office, but compared with signing up for the Microsoft 365 subscription, which costs $7 a month or $70 a year for individuals, StackSocial’s offer might be a better deal for those who just need the basics and not the very latest features. There is a free Microsoft Office online alternative that you can use, but it lacks several features and can only be used in the browser. These days, Apple users can also score Outlook as a free Mac app. Even so, the additional productivity apps available may make this bundle a sound investment for most people.

Some important things to note: You’ll get a one-time-use code for a single computer, so you won’t be able to download these apps on multiple devices. That means that if you upgrade to a new computer or your current one dies, you likely won’t be able to transfer the suite. These licenses also lack some of the added conveniences you’ll get with a 365 subscription, including OneDrive cloud storage and cloud-based AI features, including Microsoft Copilot.
