Score a Lifetime of Microsoft Office for Only $40

There’s one software suite that’s been helping everyone from entrepreneurs to consumers at home for years: Microsoft Office.

If you’ve been holding off on getting it for your own PC, now is the chance to grab a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows or Mac, on sale for $40 during the Spring Digital Blowout sale.

If you use a computer at all, you’re probably already familiar with many Microsoft tools, and Microsoft Office brings together a number of the company’s best applications. That starts with Microsoft Word, the company’s popular word processor. Easily write proposals, create forms, and do so much more with Word, and enjoy the ability to save your work in a variety of formats.

MS Office also includes Excel, which only gets more powerful the more you learn about it. This analytics workhorse can be used for everything, from developing a household budget to data sorting through useful functions and algorithms. All that data can then be turned into winning PowerPoint presentations, or used to help plan a marketing strategy in OneNote. Then there’s Outlook for managing your email, and finally, there’s Teams—crucial for remote workers over the past few years—which can make virtual collaboration a seamless experience.

PCMag readers can get a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows or Mac, available now for $39.99—88% off the $349 MSRP.
