Microsoft Slashes Price on Lifetime Office License

The software giant Microsoft has offered a lifetime license to its Office Professional Plus 2019 suite for Windows at a steep discount. The deal, which runs until October 4th at 11:59 PM PT, brings the price down from $229 to a mere $16.97, representing an astonishing 92% savings.

This version of Microsoft Office includes popular applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. It's worth noting that this suite uses the same file formats as newer versions of Office, including Microsoft 365. This means you can open files created in newer versions without any issues.

However, there are some caveats to consider. The license only covers one Windows PC for home or work use and requires Windows 10 or 11. Additionally, Microsoft ended support for Office 2019 on October 14, 2025, which means it will no longer receive security updates or new features. Publisher support is scheduled to end in October 2026.

For those who don't need the latest and greatest features, this deal could be a significant cost savings. Microsoft 365 Personal, for example, costs $99.99 per year, which translates to over $80 saved in the first year alone.
