Yes. Microsoft has committed mainstream support through October 2029. After that, your Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook keep opening and saving files exactly the way they do today — Microsoft simply stops shipping new feature updates.
Most of our 2016 and 2019 customers still use their copies daily, eight years on. 2024 has the longest runway of any perpetual Office we sell.
Each license activates on one device. If you need both, you need two licenses — but at $189.99 each, that’s still a fraction of two years of Microsoft 365 for a single user.
Open live chat. A tech will diagnose it — usually a typo, a region mismatch, or a previous install hanging around. If we can’t get it working, we send a replacement. If that fails too, you get your money back. Full stop.
We buy authorized volume licenses and resell them direct, with no retail markup, no physical packaging, no shipping. Same Microsoft activation servers, same updates, same support — minus the $200 the box-and-shelf model used to cost.
Pick 2024 if you want the longest support window (through 2029), the newest UI, and you’re fine paying around $135 more.
Pick 2021 if you want the smart-money option — support through 2026, 95% of the same features. For most home and small-business users, 2021 is the call. Browse Office 2021 ›
Microsoft 365 will charge you $9.99 every month for the rest of your life. This license charges you once — $189.99 for the popular Home & Business edition — and gives you Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote on your machine in the next 15 minutes. Yours. Not “leased.” Not “until next renewal.” Yours.
