Overview
- PCWorld, Macworld, and Mashable highlight limited-time third‑party promotions with prices that can change or end without notice.
- Current deals include Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 for Windows at about $19.97 and Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows at $34.97.
- Mac offers feature Office Home & Business 2021 at $49.97 and a newer listing for Office Home & Business 2019 at $29.97.
- These one‑time purchases install locally on a single device and are marketed as perpetual licenses rather than ongoing subscriptions.
- Coverage differs on how “lifetime” applies, with one report describing device‑tied activation and another noting licenses linked to a Microsoft account.
