Office 365, 12 months<\/a><\/strong> ({prix:office-365-12-months-5-devices}): the smart choice if you switch between a laptop, a desktop and a tablet, since one subscription covers up to five devices and the apps are always up to date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHome use: one payment, no renewals<\/h3>\n
Letters, the household budget, school projects, an updated CV: for the family computer, a perpetual license removes monthly payments altogether. Office 2024 Pro Plus<\/strong> is the long-term option, with Microsoft security updates until October 2029. Office 2021 Pro Plus<\/strong> costs less and does everything a family needs, but Microsoft ended its support on 13 October 2026: it keeps working normally, without new security fixes.<\/p>\nProfessionals and remote workers: the latest release<\/h3>\n
Freelancers, small businesses and remote workers spend their days in Outlook and Excel. Office 2024 Pro Plus<\/strong> brings the improvements that matter for intensive use: new Excel functions, improved search in Outlook, an interface in line with Windows 11 and better performance. For a tool you open eight hours a day, it is the sensible choice, and it is the only perpetual version on this page that Microsoft still supports.<\/p>\nWhatever your profile, the number of computers covered is shown on each product page: each perpetual key on this page activates one PC, with multi-PC options where available, while Office 365 covers up to five devices.<\/p>\n
Lifetime license or Office 365 subscription?<\/h2>\n
Before you buy, decide between a permanent license and a subscription. Both give you the same core apps, but they follow a different logic.<\/p>\n
A perpetual license<\/strong> (Office 2019, 2021 or 2024) works like any other purchase: one payment, one installation, no renewal date. The suite keeps the features of its release year, which does not get in the way of everyday work: a document created today opens just as well in Office 2019 as in Office 2024.<\/p>\nA subscription<\/strong> reverses the logic: a recurring cost, but apps that are updated continuously and can be installed on several devices. Our Microsoft 365 page<\/a> explains how the subscription works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n| Criterion<\/th>\n | Lifetime Office (2019, 2021, 2024)<\/th>\n | Office 365 (subscription)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n |

\n| Ideal for<\/td>\n | One main computer, classic office work<\/td>\n | Several devices, working on the move<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n The rule of thumb is simple: for one computer and classic office tasks, a lifetime license removes any future cost; a subscription makes sense when you work across several devices.

One detail worth knowing: Publisher is not part of Office 2024, as Microsoft has retired the app. If you rely on it, Office 2021 or 2019 still include it. Conversely, Office 2024 is the only perpetual release here with the newer Excel functions and the Windows 11 look.<\/p>\n Office 2021 or Office 2024?<\/h3>\nThis is a frequent dilemma. Office 2021 Pro Plus covers everyday needs with a modern interface and costs less, but its Microsoft support ended on 13 October 2026, so it no longer receives security updates. Office 2024 Pro Plus is supported until October 2029 and suits recent PCs and heavy Excel users. For a main computer that handles email and files from outside, choose 2024; Office 2021 remains a reasonable budget option for a secondary or offline PC. Files are fully interchangeable between the two.<\/p>\n Compatibility: Windows 10, Windows 11 and Mac<\/h2>\nThe three perpetual versions on this page install on Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/strong>; none of them runs on Windows 7 or Windows 8. A few guidelines:<\/p>\n\n- recent PC running Windows 11: Office 2024 takes full advantage of it, with an interface designed for this system;<\/li>\n
- computer a few years old, on Windows 10 or 11: Office 2021 and 2024 both run comfortably;<\/li>\n
- modest hardware: Office 2019 is light on resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
On a Mac, the Pro Plus licenses do not apply: they are for Windows only. The Office 365 subscription is the simplest route for a MacBook or an iMac, as one subscription covers PCs, Macs, tablets and mobile devices alike.<\/p>\n How to buy Microsoft Office online: delivery and activation<\/h2>\nNo box, no shipping, no waiting for a courier: everything happens online, in four steps.<\/p>\n \n- Choose your version<\/strong> and pay securely by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Bancontact.<\/li>\n

- Download and install<\/strong> the suite from Microsoft’s servers.<\/li>\n

\n Why are these prices so far below Microsoft’s own?<\/p>\n Our keys are genuine perpetual licenses from the European second-hand software market. In its UsedSoft judgment (case C-128\/11, 2012), the Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed that a perpetual software license sold in the EU may be resold, provided the original owner no longer uses it. Same software, same activation on Microsoft’s servers: only the distribution channel differs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Every order comes with a VAT invoice, and a defective key is replaced for life.
