Score a lifetime license to Microsoft Office for either Mac or Windows for $30

TL;DR: As of July 18, you can get a lifetime license for Microsoft Office Home and Business for Mac 2021 or Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows for only $29.97 instead of $219.99 — that's a savings of 86%.

Microsoft Office has long been ingrained in our day-to-day work lives. Need to write up a huge document? MS Word has got your back. Need to analyze a large set of numbers? MS Excel is there. Need to pitch an important presentation? Few programs build presentations better than MS PowerPoint.

The only downside is Microsoft Office costs a pretty penny, with annual subscriptions setting you back hundreds. But with this deal, you can score a Microsoft Office 2021 Professional lifetime license for either your Mac or Windows computer at the discounted price of only $29.97.

Developed with the modern professional in mind, the Microsoft Office Professional 2021 suite punches above class in terms of productivity. It comes packed with apps commonly used in the workplace, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. It's also equipped with a litany of features that encourages efficiency, so you can accomplish more at work in less time.

Each of the programs included in the subscription can be installed on a Windows or Mac computer for use at home or work. Upon purchase, you instantly receive access to your software license keys and download links via email, so you can install them right away and get to work. And if, for any reason, any of the apps aren't functioning the way they should, you have access to free customer service that can do proper troubleshooting.

A small caveat: These Microsoft Office 2021 licenses require that you update your Mac to Version 11 Big Sur or your Windows computer to either Windows 10 or Windows 11, so the programs will run as expected.
