Microsoft 365 Personal now costs $99.99 per year after Microsoft bundled its Copilot AI into the plan. For a one-time payment of less than a third of an annual subscription, a Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows lifetime license is on sale for $27.97 (reg. $219.99).
This is the Professional edition, so it includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Access, plus Publisher and the free version of Teams. Access is the database app that Office Home editions leave out. Microsoft ends support for Publisher in October 2026. Your license installs on one PC running Windows 10 or 11 and ties to that device instead of a Microsoft account.
Because this is Office 2021 and not Microsoft 365, there are no monthly or annual fees. A Microsoft-verified partner sells the license. You have seven days after purchase to redeem the code. This version doesn't run in Parallels or other virtual machines, so install it directly on a Windows PC.
$27.97 for Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows on sale through Nov. 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT (reg. $219.99).
