There are some tools your computer basically requires to be useful. A good word processor, a data-management tool, a slideshow presentation app and an email manager are some of the big ones. You get programs that do all that and more with the Microsoft Office suite. And now you can get them — for life — at a totally killer price.

Yes, Macs come with built-in software that can meet some of these needs. But for some tasks, the Microsoft apps included in the Office bundle prove essential. And right now, lifetime licenses for both the Mac and Windows 2021 versions of Microsoft Office are on sale for just $49.99 (regularly $349).

Microsoft Office discounted

Whether you get this package deal for Mac or Windows, you’ll get the six core programs that Microsoft Office is known for: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and OneNote.

These are the programs that basically run the working world. Microsoft Word is the quintessential word processor that packs a ton of templates and guides for professional documents. Excel is one of the most important pieces of software for any new professional because it lets you organize, filter and analyze data.

PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams are the remote worker’s dream team (and they’re great in person, too). You can create clear, engaging presentations and then send them to co-workers with the No. 1 email client in the world. Or you can upload them (or anything else) to a shared team drive.

And after you’re done with all that, you can check off another item on your OneNote to-do list.

Windows version adds Microsoft Publisher and Access

With the Windows license for Microsoft Office, you get the core six programs plus two extras: Microsoft Publisher and Access.

Publisher lets you create appealing handouts, flyers and other printable materials. And Access is a fantastic database manager. With the whole set, there’s not much you can’t do.

Save on Microsoft Office for Mac or Windows

Rated 5/5 stars by verified purchasers, this deal on Mac and Windows licenses includes access to all the software for life. Install it on your computer, and suddenly you have a productivity hub that can be used at home or work.

For a limited time, you can get the Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 Lifetime License for Mac or Windows for just $49.99. That’s a steep 85% discount off the regular price of $349.
