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.

Just purchased through the SoftKeyWorld link, and on the order completion page it has the URL for redeeming on Microsoft's site, as well as your key right there.
Opened up a browser on my new Macbook Air and redeemed the key no problem. Downloaded the software and installing right now.
There's way too much paranoia and misinformation in this thread. Both vendors are valid for legit, perpetual copies of Office.
UPDATE: after the Office install, the auto-updater went ahead and found the newest patches and let me install them as well.
yep... this thread is hilarious.

There's a huge difference in capability and ease of use/integration between Office 365 and google docs, etc. Google docs are fine for basic users - but they're horrible for much of corporate use. I've experienced this first hand - and watching my wife right now who recently took a new job with a company that uses google docs try and create the same output - there's significant limitations - just for her between powerpoint and the google version. I'm a CPA and have worked on the finance/accounting side - often using excel and data analysis (even using access, etc.) - it's night and day - you would know that if you had actually experienced having to use both where you're having to have the tools perform more and more complex analysis, output - etc. - not even mentioning how much better the integration is without outlook/onenote which makes life much easier...
I know exactly what Micro$oft office is capable of, I'm forced to use it on work devices. It's still trash.
No one actually likes Outlook better than Google mail... It's slow and bloated. The search is one of the worst features.
OneNote is also incredibly slow and bloated, with very limited features. You can't even paste in text without formatting by adding the "shift" modifier like almost every other application does.
Next thing we know, you'll be trying to convince people that Teams is a superior chat program...

You've apparently never heard of LIbre Office either, which goes to my point of not being a power user. If you want to get serious and pull data for accounting, don't mess around with excel or access. Use real professional accounting software.

Really...hmmm. I ordered from SoftKeyWorld six hours ago and haven't received anything more than the order confirmation email saying that my order "is now being processed". It shouldn't take but moments to send out a digital key.
Yes, I am experiencing the same delay.

My company had a office sale through Microsoft and offered this for about $19.99, so I decided to go legit... the problem is that was 5 years ago and I was to lazy to reinstall everything. Oh well.

My pet peeve is paying money for something that I could just download for free. But I have gotten better... I actually purchased a few apps this past year for $2.43, jus thinking of it wants me to use drugs.

it's funny... i just asked my wife this question since she just started 5 months ago with a company that uses google versus office... it's hilarious. she said it's dozens of things in each application - how limiting they are on advanced features, how clunky gmail is - how dumbed down google docs seems. in addition to mentioning being able to colaborate with the rest of the world in a professional corporate environment - the agencies they work with, they can't swap doc directly. there's a huge difference - and i can see in some smaller, more isolated companies it might not matter much. to others, it does.

it's funny... she doesn't know why i asked and she keeps coming in my office ranting about yet another reason... the last one is how bad the 'track changes' functionality is in google docs versus word - and if you've worked in a corporate environment in a collaborative manner - you'd realize how important that one thing is - the document getting multiple reviews, changes, etc. i didn't mention any of the other because each one isn't necessarily huge on its own - but together it's a joke.

and regarding onenote - that's my own personal usage for tracking my personal stuff - and work stuff. not a huge deal...

SlickCrowd6832 is full of shit. If you bought them on StackSocial, you're going to be upset next year when the trial licenses that they gave you run out and the seller is long gone.

Do you really think that $2.43 is getting you legitimate licenses? laugh out loud

Uninstall Office & reinstall. Activate through setup.office.com. Sign in to your Microsoft account and it should ask you to enter the key. If that doesn't work, I would contact the seller.
