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).

They provided me a key for Office 2021 and I activated it. When I check MS word > Account
I see "Activated" just below Office logo. Has been like this for well over 3 months no issues.
Not able to add this key to my MS account though.
I bought the key from urlhasbeenblocked added it to my MS account.
Went to install it ony my Laptop and had a little issue. I was able to apply the license but it would not activated.
Had to close out word and restart then it finally took.
Odd thing is that when I check MS word > Account
I do not see "Activated" just below Office logo like my other license.
The license from urlhasbeenblocked does show in my MS account.
When I open any office app I don't get any licensing errors so I assume everything is licensed properly. Just wondering if you guys see the same and if I should be concerned?
Because it doesn't do that, and hasn't since October 2020

As several have noted throughout the thread-- if you never get on any network (including the internet) and never plug in a USB key that's been elsewhere and never otherwise open any document that has been anywhere but your PC, it's probably fine to keep using unsupported versions of office with no security updates.
Otherwise it's kind of a ticking timebomb thing
Honestly, not to defend MS too much, it's a question of cost and resources and it's hardly unique to them.
Supporting every version of every piece of software, forever, would be insanely expensive
So they have some period for new SW they promise to offer patches and security updates-- 5 years in this case.... it used to be 10 years (this coming from someone who held on to Office 2007 that long!)
After that you can either upgrade, or assume the risks that come from running SW no longer being updates.

Code SPRING22 for 20% off. Also code MEP1 for 35% off.
Edit: Code MEP1 is now 30% off effective 4/14/22.
There are a lot of websites that offer this Microsoft Office for free, when you read carefully they mention to turn off the antivirus during installation. And that scares me!
