What do you lose when you buy this version versus the subscription? As I said above, you won’t get software updates, but you also won’t be entitled to a working version of the app if an update to your operating system breaks the old one – this software is a lot like the old days when buying a program meant whatever was on the CD or floppy disk set was what you got, bugs and all. Unless I miss my math, that’s a far sight better than the $439.99 Microsoft charges for the PC version of Office Pro 2021 or the $249.99 Office Home & Business 2021 for Mac. Prices range, but as of this writing, it’s definitely on the low end for these packages at $29.99. If you’re good with that, I’m here to tell you that (inhale) Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021 and Microsoft Office Pro 2021 for Windows are frequently up for grabs at StackSocial at massive discounts.

Microsoft may have switched to offering its Microsoft Office suite of products as a subscription long ago, but has been slyly offering the software license since then as a buy-once-use-forever package, though with a catch: you won’t get updates or access to new features.
