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.

When you buy it, make sure you are ready to activate right away. I waited a couple of hours and got an error that the code was already used. Contacted support and they sent me a new code.
Total was 27ish.
You purchased this $50 Stack Social deal for $27-ish?

StackSocial also has the $50 gift card for $40, but it says it's not usable for all deals.
Was anyone able to use it on this to get Office from StackSocial for $40 ultimately?

Is the "lifetime" for the lifetime for Office 2021 only or does it progress through future versions? MS has a way of considering upgrades as new software, ie Win 95, Win 98 etc. Big lawsuits at DoD while this was going on and I was there...

For Office 2021. It's basically saying this is a license key for this product that will continue to receive updates such as security patches for as long as its supported (probably 2025ish) instead of the shitty subscription-based Office 365 model.

Why is it a scam? Their website states that they are partners with Microsoft and allowed to resell these products,
They're grey market keys. Only way that they could be selling these at such a low price. They'll probably work, but you're also buying stolen keys or keys that were purchased with stolen credit card numbers.

Quote from StephenCarboni :
Be aware that there are some difference between 2021 and Office365 that you may use at work.
luckily, the key differentiator (PREVIOUSLY) between the one-time purchase version and the 365 subscription version was that the 365 version had the collaboration features and the standalone version didn't. For example, that means multiple people can be working on the same spreadsheet at the exact same time in real-time. John may be in cell C3. Jane in F25. Joe in another worksheet. The standalone versions (Office 2019, Office 2016, etc.) didn't have any collaboration features really.

But now Office 2021 has those features too.

So now, the key differentiators are feature updates and additional collaboration features like live chatting and comments. Office 2021 will get security updates but no new features. And with 365, you get the smartphone/tablet apps as well as installing on any and all device with up to 5 devices actively being used at once versus 1 device only with Office 2021.

So now I can wholly recommend the standalone one-time Office 2021. The collaborative features are truly awesome and was what got our company to go to 365. Our 40+ staff could view and edit the same set of documents without worrying about someone locking the document. Previously, Office 2019 was only recommended by solitary people who didn't need to work with other people.

And for $50, it's a no-brainer if you're not into subscriptions. For regular price, it's hard to justify the standalone version because by the time your subscription costs equal the cost of the standalone, you would've gotten many years of usage and feature updates. Or you're the type to stick with a single version for a very long time. Like t hose people still using Office 2003 or 2007.

I have Office 2019 do not need this upgrade as the only difference is Ms Teams integration - a feature I never use.

See review below for comparison

actually, Office 2019 didn't have the collaboration features. maybe that doesn't mean anything for you but for many groups of people who work on documents together, it means a lot.

you aren't entitled to future versions of the software. You get to "own" Office 2021 indefinitely and that's it (and security updates). No feature updates. No upgrades.

Anyone with a 365 subscription replaced it with this and ended their subscription successfully without making a new account? Microsoft accounts require phone numbers so it's not easy to just make a new one.

Also, if my computer dies I can transfer this to a new computer correct? Just as long as it's only on one computer at a time? Has this been confirmed?
