Lifetime for THE COMPUTER you install this on. It's non-transferrable. (Updates are apparently included) I'm seeing regular price between $69-99.
The free updates don't include upgrades.
IOW, when Office 2024 (or whatever) comes out you don't get to upgrade to it. However, you will still receive security, bug, and critical updates to your Office 2021 for the life of the product (thru Oct 13, 2026).

Also, read the ONE COMPUTER part as something that you control. If a computer that you had this Office 2021 on dies, you are fully able to license the same Office 2021 on a new computer, provided you log into your Microsoft account and remove the old computer activation. It's a full retail license that is fully transferrable - as long as it's only on one computer at a time.

Also², If you already have (or have had) a Microsoft account tied to a subscription Microsoft product (Office365/Microsoft365) Microsoft may not allow you to use that account for perpetual products (although this isn't explained when you try to use it). Just create a new, free Microsoft account and activate it that way. You can use the key you receive for any valid email address (regardless of the email address you enter when purchasing the Office 2021 Pro).
I purchased from here in mid April. Last week my installation suddenly restricted my access as unlicensed. I called Microsoft support and they tried to help but unable to saying something to the effect this was MSDN licensed and ultimately I would have to contact the seller. I do not recommend this deal.

Wow, this reminded me of this blast of the past deal:
https://slickdeals.net/e/8355911-ms-office-2016-14-99-for-students-and-school-faculty?src=SiteSearchV2Algo

I'm still using it today. 😂. Honestly, what kind of advancements have been done in 7 years in Microsoft Office products? Like the basic ones like Word and Excel?

For the most part, not much has changed.

However, in Excel, they did add new types of functions such as XLOOKUP, LET, and, LAMBDA. But generally, you could probably wait until the next version before upgrading.

Quote from Erchan_coon :
Is Popular Science trying to mimic Popular Mechanics for a bit of credibility?

Popular Science started in 1872 as "The Popular Science Monthly."

Popular Mechanics started in 1902, so PopSci came before them but they've both been around a very long time.

I subscribed to PopSci as a kid but haven't been following them in recent years, though I'd imagine they struggle to get revenue these days, like many other magazines, so they resort to stuff like this.

If you must use MS Office, it's a nice deal. I'd probably only buy this on a desktop though, if anywhere... not on a laptop that might be more likely to break. Wonder what ties it to the computer though. SN from the MOBO or something?

For most people though, they could get by using LibreOffice, or whatever the current "good" free one is

Be aware that there are some difference between 2021 and Office365 that you may use at work.

Yes it is tied to the motherboard. If you replace the motherboard and need to reinstall you will have to activate over the phone.

This is the usual price for black/grey market keys. Is this one legit? I doubt so.

You can ask an employee friend to provide an account for you. And there these limited editions are like 20 dollars.
I got office 2019 for my personal laptop for $20. And then that is lifetime till the computer works.
