All this week is Prime Day. That means from now through Friday, June 26, you can find all sorts of deals on Amazon covering products like TVs, watches, PC parts, and more. However, that doesn’t mean Amazon is the only place to save some cash this week.
StackSocial is keeping up with the deals of Prime Day with its own huge discount on this package for Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus. This lifetime license normally sells for $250, but has come down by a staggering 78% for a limited time. That ends up knocking off $195, bringing the new price to just $55.
Abandon the Subscription Lifestyle
Perhaps one of the most annoying directions big tech as gone in the last decade is the switch to solutions as a service. Using a subscription model is great for the business because they can maintain a continuous revenue stream from their customers, but the customers do get the short end of the stick. Sure, a software subscription tends to include yearly updates that add in new features as time goes on, but that rarely is worth the exponentially higher amount of cash you’d be handing over month after month versus having just paid once and owning the license forever.
That’s why this deal really stands out. Microsoft has shifted its primary focus for it’s flagship applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint over to Microsoft 365—its own subsription software service. Even though that’s where all the marketing has gone, you can still scoop up yourself a lifetime license to these programs on the cheap—way cheaper than 365 ends up costing after awhile.
For just $55, you’re getting access to Word, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, and Access. And that’s lifetime access. Pay it once, own it forever. These are the 2024 versions of the program, but the software hardly changes year after year. You more than likely can get everything your need from these apps with these 2024 versions without ever thinking twice about your decision.
The perpetual license is connected to your device, not your Microsoft account. So it will stick with whichever Windows PC you put it on. It’s compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Upon purchase, you will receive instant access to the apps via your license key and a download link. You’ll receive an email when your purchase is complete with instructions for how to redeem the code for the product. You must redeem within seven days of purchasing the license.
