Office Licenses

The Office Licenses category brings together every edition of Microsoft's classic productivity suite — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote — in one place. Whether you want a one-time purchase that lasts a lifetime or a cloud-connected subscription that keeps updating itself, there's an option here for home users, students, small businesses and enterprise teams alike.

The category splits into three delivery models: classic Retail keys, Bind licences that attach permanently to your Microsoft account, and Office for Mac licences built specifically for macOS. Here's how to pick the right one.

Office 365 or Office 2021?

Office 365 is subscription-based: continuous updates, 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage and multi-device access — available as Office 365 Pro Plus or the shared Office 365 Pro Plus Family plan. Office 2021 is a perpetual licence bought once and used for life; Office 2021 Pro Plus (BIND) is the most popular way to get it. Earlier generations are also in stock — Office 2019 and Office 2016 — while Office 2024 Pro Plus Retail covers the newest release. Our Office 365 vs Office 2021 comparison breaks down the trade-offs in detail, and our Office 365 Pro Plus features guide lists exactly what's included in the subscription.

Which Office edition fits you?

Sticking with one machine for years and want to avoid recurring fees? Office 2021 Pro Plus (BIND) or, for the newest feature set, Office 2024 Pro Plus makes sense. Families sharing across a household should look at Office 365 Pro Plus Family, while individuals who want continuous cloud sync can pick standard Office 365 Pro Plus. Mac-based designers and freelancers should head straight to the Office for Mac licences category.

What's the difference between Retail, Bind and Mac licences?

Retail licences are classic product keys — portable between computers and usually linkable to a Microsoft account as well. Bind licences attach the key permanently to your Microsoft account, so a fresh Windows install doesn't cost you the licence — sign back in and Office reactivates itself automatically. If you reformat often or switch machines, Bind is the safer bet. Mac users get their own dedicated Office for Mac licences category, where keys are registered online to your account and stay reformat-safe — just remember to activate within 6 hours of delivery.
