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.

how is this possible, $50 for unlimited office ? So everytime they come out with a new version, you'll be grandfathered in? What's the catch?
its says for one pc install, so when that computer fails or you upgrade thats probably it. i

Really? You are naive.
I believe you don't know what software security is. There are no such security in MS Office since it is an markup language not encrypted like pdf. The only concern is the using cloud office.

That site won't load - says it's an insecure site.

Here's how it works:
Big Company buys 20,000 seat license of MS Office. MSFT sends massive list of license keys. IT guy snatches a few hundred keys, knowing they'll never be used or missed, and sells them to Stack Social, probably for Bitcoin. If he gets $20 a key, it's a few thousand bucks.

So, I came across this deal on Slashdot today for $80. Same lifetime license for Office 2021, but also includes training classes. The thing that stood out to me, and maybe this is a clue on the price, was under system requirements it says "1280 x 768 screen resolution (64-bit Office required for 4K and higher)". So, I'm no expert, but this implies that this is a 32-bit program. Would that be a deal killer for some?

That is telling you the "minimum" requirements. Just like all other software.

As a lifetime Windows user, I'm wary of any Microsoft products they claim to be lifetime licenses, as they revoked several Office 2013 & 2016 licenses from my account out of the blue back in 2017 and 2020 respectively. Their support basically said "tough luck, get Office 365"
I have versions 2010, 2013 and 2019 all still work. All prof versions purchased from seller like softkeyworld. I'm using my 2019 on a desktop and laptop at the same time, even though I'm pretty sure the seller said it was good for just one pc. With the last windows 10 update, it briefly showed a license error, but when I rebooted pc, office loaded ok. whew.

Did you have any issues activating? When I've purchased from similar sites, automatic activation rarely worked. Had to go through an (automated) phone activation, which worked but was tedious.

I posted back on page 7. Gotta love this thread running wild.
Also makes me think that SoftKey website must be scratching their heads as to why all of a sudden, sales went through the roof (due to posting here and Reddit?). They're smiling all the way to the bank.

I used the MEP1 code. I got the discount. I received email confirmations immediately, but the link & key codes came the next day.
I installed it on my new (to me) laptop with a newly upgraded Windows 11. Went in perfect. I manually had it check for Office updates. It found and applied them. I haven't checked my MS Account to see that they were linked.

I do have older versions of Office. On CDs. laying around. it's just easier to download the electronic version. My new laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player and I dont have an external. Sure I can work around that but I dont want to hassle with it.

So if I get a new computer and want to move Office from my old computer to the new, would I be out of luck? I bought Office a while back and was able to re-install when I got a new computer, so why wouldn't this be any different?
