Score Lifetime Access to Microsoft Office for Just $25 With This Limited-Time Offer

If you’re a student, you work from home or just have a few personal projects on the go, then you’ll probably want access to Microsoft Office. Being able to access software like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and others can really help a lot of people out, but it can be pricey to install on your own PC. Thankfully, you can currently get permanent access to Microsoft Office 2019 for just $25 on StackSocial — a huge 89% off the usual price for the lifetime license.

There are actually two versions of Office on sale here. 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.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

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.
