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 (PC) (October 2029), your software keeps working — it just stops getting new features. By then, your $139.99 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…

The chat experience with James was great! We were not able to install the program, though, because my computer has a site license only. I figured it out myself and the program is now installed on my computer. 😁
Using The Software City was easy, convenient and the price was right!
Sick of paying a subscription every year. I wanted a program that I could use continuously. I was a bit sceptical that this might have been a scam, but after doing all my checks this company came up clean. I have downloaded the link and easierly set up office 2024 on my laptop. A genuine licence key emailed to me. Very happy.
The Rep was online on time. He kept me informed of what he was doing.. I would highly recommend this service.
I did not get what I wanted: help with a download of MS Office 24 but without the cloud 365 which I did not want loaded onto my computer. I resent being FORCED into 365.
Great tech support! I wasted over $100 on getting MS 24 from another company. They said they would help with installing; but they were really not helpful at all. I really appreciate having all the details taken care of for me. I'm well into my 70's and am very deficient on technology.
I asked my nephew , a computer tech, for advice on getting a new laptop. He looked on-line and suggested one that you had on sale. I went to your store and asked for the computer he suggested. The laptop was provided to me within a couple of minutes. The staff were polite and professional and very helpful. All in all, a very good experience.
The whole process was smooth and no hitches. With the added bit that it was the least expensive of all the sites where I looked.

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 Windows PC for under $139.99. Ever. Not until next month. Not until next year. Ever.
