Are you still paying a subscription fee for access to Microsoft 365? If you're tired of subscriptions, you may want to make an outright investment in your productivity tools by getting a Microsoft Office lifetime license.

With a one-time payment of $59.97 (reg. $219), which could pay for itself in less than a year, you can own your Microsoft apps outright. Consider this a belated holiday gift for yourself -- or a productivity upgrade ahead of the new year.

Unlike Microsoft 365, this license allows you to download your Microsoft apps directly on your PC. This Microsoft Office 2021 license comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, and Access with no additional fees. You'll be able to download your license key to use the suite immediately after purchase.

It's important to note that since this download is tied to your PC, you must purchase separate licenses for any additional Windows device you'd like to use Microsoft Office on. In addition, you will have to repurchase the license if you upgrade your device.

You might just thank yourself in 2025 by grabbing this license now.

This Microsoft Office 2021 download for Windows is now on sale for $59.97 (reg. $219) through December 29 at 11:59 p.m. PT or while supplies last.
