As hybrid work becomes more common, you should consider what setup works best on your work computer, and the apps you use play a huge part in that. For example, Microsoft Office is known the world over for its comprehensive suite of productivity apps. Right now, you can make your Mac hybrid-ready or add Office to your Windows PC for $39.99 (Reg. $349) with our lifetime Microsoft Office licenses.

Install Microsoft Office on your computer for cheap

Rated five stars in our store, these licenses give you lifetime access to several apps: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and OneNote. You’ll receive license keys and download links to install your new programs upon purchase. Here are just a few examples of how you can implement these tools into your workflow.

One of the world’s most commonly used word-processing programs, Word slots into your workflow not just to type documents but to share edits and open legacy files. .DOC and .DOCX files open natively with no conversion needed.

Excel was the original killer app, turning pen-and-paper accounting into digital recordkeeping. On the Mac, it makes it easy to process data and share information, especially when working with finance departments or scientific data.

Probably the most commonly used part of the suite for people who don’t have Office, OneNote remains some of the most effective and valuable cloud-based note-taking software. During virtual meetings, it lets you quickly take down needed info without having to hunt for a pen or look away from the screen.

Mixing features of FaceTime and Slack, Teams is Microsoft’s collaboration software. On Mac, this translates to smooth video and audio, call features that are easily adjusted on the fly so you can swap backgrounds, share your screen with just a few clicks, record important meetings to share later and cloud-powered file systems to keep clutter off your desktop and essential information accessible. It even comes with cute 3D emojis!

This deal offers Windows users two more perks: Publisher and Access. The former features a suite of document design tools to quickly polish presentations and other materials. Meanwhile, Access provides database features to keep everything accessible and easy to use.
