Yours, Not Rented
One payment. Perpetual license. The day after you install, you don’t owe Microsoft another dollar — for as long as your PC runs.
Above ↑ is the product. Below ↓ is why $149.99 once beats $9.99 a month forever.
No fluff. Each card is a single, defensible claim — backed by a number you can verify.
One payment. Perpetual license. The day after you install, you don’t owe Microsoft another dollar — for as long as your PC runs.
Verified Microsoft Partner — listed in Microsoft’s official Partner Directory. Click and check before you buy. Most resellers can’t make that offer.
Pay, then check your inbox. Product key and download link arrive in 15–45 minutes. Most orders deliver before you finish a coffee.
If your key ever fails to activate in 180 days, we replace it. No restocking fee. No “just one moment, sir.” A real human, same day.
$149.99 once vs Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.99/mo = $119.88/yr forever. Year 2 onward, you save $119.88 every year.
For software you never own.
Here’s the math nobody at Microsoft wants you to do. Word stops opening your documents in full edit mode. PowerPoint stops printing. Excel goes read-only.
Ten years of paying — and you walk away with nothing.
And the part that stings: the Office on your screen — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook — is the same software you’d get on a perpetual license. Same icons. Same ribbon. Same .docx files. Microsoft just split it into a subscription so the meter never stops running.
You pay once. You install once. You own it.
No cloud account required. No monthly bill. No “your subscription will renew on…” email at 6 AM.
The day Microsoft stops mainstream support for Office Home 2024 (Mac) (October 2029), your software keeps working — it just stops getting new features. By then, your $149.99 has paid for itself almost twice over compared to renting Microsoft 365 Personal.
But here’s what surprises most first-time buyers…
That’s it. No coupon. No upsell. No “your trial expires in 30 days” pop-up six months from now.
And one more thing — see how each step takes about a minute…

Great and well known products at incredible prices. Help to get the installs done is readily available and any questions answered promptly. Thoroughly recommended.
Easy to search for, purchase and install the program I was looking for. The Software City offers the limited content Office Suite that will work just right for me. The broader based Office programs were available a well. TY.
Exactly what I needed! I bought the basic Microsoft package with the only 4 applications and a permanent license. No monthly fees for all those extra applications I never use. Great price!
It was fast and mostly harmless. No brain work on my sided. A pleasant experience for sure. Thanks for the help.
The pricing is out of this world!!I opted to have them install remotely and everything was perfect!I will definitely use again and tell everyone.
They kept in touch with me and got my order downloaded with no problem. Was most helpful and considerate. Answered my questions and did a little maintenance to help my computer to download more quickly. The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful.
The technical support was very useful and very much appreciated
I had issues with installation. Customer support helped me to resolve the issue
Microsoft 365 Personal will charge you $9.99 every month for the rest of your life. This license charges you once.
By the time we send you the key — 15 minutes from now — you’ll have Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote installed and activated on your Mac PC for under $149.99. Ever. Not until next month. Not until next year. Ever.
