Buying a Microsoft Office subscription straight from the source comes with one very big drawback — you have to pay for it every year, over and over, or you lose access to its essential productivity tools. And if you’re on an auto-renew plan, that sizable bill can take you by surprise.

Microsoft has announced that Office LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel) 2024, a volume-licensed and perpetual version of Office for Windows and macOS users, is now available for commercial and government customers.

This deal gets you a lifetime license to Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows or Mac and access to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more for 89% off.

TL;DR: Secure lifetime licenses to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 and Windows 11 Pro for £42.16 until Sept. 29 and avoid subscription hassles. Owning lifetime licenses for essential software can provide peace of mind and security knowing it's yours and it's not going anywhere.
