Frequently asked questions about Office
Is Office a one-time purchase?
Yes. These are perpetual licences: you pay once and keep using the installed version, without a subscription. Microsoft provides security updates only while the version is supported: support for Office 2016 and Office 2019 ended on 14 October 2025 (the software keeps working, but no more updates); Office 2021 is supported until 13 October 2026 and Office 2024 until 9 October 2029.
Online or phone activation?
Online activation is done inside the application by entering the key. Phone activation goes through Microsoft's automated activation line and takes a few extra minutes; both result in the same activated product.
Does the key work on Mac?
Only the editions marked for Mac (Home & Business, Home & Student for Mac). Professional Plus is Windows-only.
