Sorry this didn’t help. All licenses available to the general public that I am aware of may be re-installed on the same computer, even after limited upgrades like adding RAM, new HD, re-installing Windows, upgrading Windows version etc. This thread is locked.

So I had to abandon both. I have a very mixed environment: windows, Mac in all its form factors, and android, Ubuntu, Mint, device Linux. My solution is one Office license on one computer of fairly recent vintage, one Office of older Vintage, Google Drive and docs for most stuff, and Libreoffice on all computing devices.

I also have an open source super text editor that is portable and runs everywhere. So, from a worldwide and device agnostic perspective Google Docs, even the paid version, is a better general solution for most users worldwide where Linux distros rule.

Is this for real? ALL Office licenses are monthly or yearly subscriptions. Hopefully they will contact the vendor to correct the ad. Dealing with MS Word that has been formatted extensively is actually more trouble for most publishers than sending them something done in Notepad or the simplest writing apps. Google Docs are completely understood and accepted by most publishers and people I write for, and they have gotten really good at saving and opening in other formats. Libre Office is also great, and again way more than most people need.

Yes, there are exceptions, especially it seems on the Excel side, so the Office subscription may be worth it to you, but not for most ordinary consumers. My kids have been using Google docs in school since 5th grade, and now in junior and senior year their written assignments are to be turned in online. I have asked them for help in Word and Powerpoint documents and get a blank stare from them.

MS makes the vast majority of their profit from business users. Your kids will one day likely be in a professional environment using Office. I taught a course in Office at a business college.

I adapted the course so they were able to follow the course using either MS or Libre Office. The value of 1TB cloud storage per user is pretty much worth the annual subscription by itself. I used to follow the occasional work related special deals to by the latest version of Office I still have have purchased copies of Office , XP, , but this generally resulted in blow back when someone in the family was not working on their normal PC or was trying to help with a PowerPoint presentation.

That being said, my brother runs his business using Open Office and is very happy with the result. Kind of timely this article repeat. I was thinking of looking for it.

Our last laptop came with Office Starter and that was sufficient for our needs. But now, it seems that the shop is pushing people towards Office Yeah, that is a good deal. It would take 7.

In fact the last time I purchased Office was in Office 4. Ran on Windows 3. Had Word 6, Excel 5, Powerpoint, and Access 2. When I bought a new computer, I installed it on that computer. When I bought my XP computer, I installed it on that. It worked, so I just kept using it. I never would have used those features. It only crashed on the odd occasion. It was workable. Onetime payment licenses will have to buy the new version. MS says these features will be rolled into the next release of onetime payment versions, when ever that is.

So the Home license actually allows you to install on up to 15 devices! They are not fully functional. When you get you also upgrade office on those devices to have more features. But even these upgraded versions are not fully feature equal to the desktop the usual excuse is OS limitations. When you buy a new computer, you are typically given the option to buy a copy of Office at a reduced priced compared to store retail.

This is the best option to have an hold something you can grow old with. I have macros built into them and not willing to risk Microsoft obsolescing them some day. I do see the benefit is of a subscription if you are running an office or household where you have multiple users.

As a single non-business user I am happy with my antiquated Office 95 which works on my desktop Windows xp and laptop Windows 10 with no issues. If you are an occasional Office user, an older more reasonably priced version of Office may meet your needs. Thank you for your thoughtful article. Upgrades to Office are like upgrades to Windows, in that most of the upgrades are just change for its own sake so that Microsoft can manufacture demand and sell replacements.

I suspect that a lot of them upgrade only to keep their home PCs in line with the software they use at work. For myself, I run Office on my Win10 box. As long as it has the free add-on installed it can read the new format files for Word and Excel introduced with Office I actively do not want up upgrade — that damned ribbon introduced in Office is far too much of a pain to get to use.

The other reason for updates are security issues. Vulnerabilities in Word and Excel have both been abused to propagate malware of various sorts. Keeping with the latest supported version or any supported version, to be honest keeps you updated with the latest protections. I have it happily mounted on my desktop and two laptops.

Keep your old PC with XP or win7 and keep on using what you have. If you are an individual for yourself why take on the expense of a product that never changes. Greed is what Msft is doing because they have you over the barrel and want to keep you forcibly paying the fee, I strongly believe congress needs to step in and force MSFT to make an option just like before. Its called being an monopoly and they are holding you for a ransom.

As she usually only uses Outlook and Excel, I thought it would be best for her to try it. So now we are both back on Office pre-ribbon. So I can not imagine why I would ever pay for a newer version of Office in any form since the alternatives work fine. Since I only use Word for documents sent to me, I use Excel for Word Processing — I used to laugh at my boss when he used Lotus for word processing — now I know why — lots more control of what it looks like.

I agree with your sentiments about sticking with an older version that does what you need, but I have to balk at your comment about using spreadsheets as a word processor. When writing something in paragraph type format, I would have to say that Word or an equivalent is much better, if you know how to use all the various formatting options. I cringe when I get something sent to me at work and the person has used the spacebar to layout the document, as if it were a typewriter.

Learning to use left tab, right tab, center tab, decimal tab makes layout much quicker and more reliable. Also learning to use styles, indents, margins also can greatly help your layout and make your document much more consistent.

Knowing when to use each tool is important. I actually think it is an improvement. If I end up on a computer with an older version of Office, it takes me so much longer to get stuff done because I have to play hunt for the menu option.

I try to leave the ribbon on the Home tab and for the frequently used items that are not on the Home tab, I put them in the Quick Access toolbar. This type of radical change is not about age.

When you get used to a tool, you want to continue to use the tool to do your work. Unfortunately, in the world of software and web design there is societal pressure to make changes just for the sake of change. I beg to differ that the ribbon takes more mouse clicks. Just the other day I embeded a Word document into an Excel workbook. I clicked the Insert tab of the ribbon and clicked the Insert Object icon. Same number of clicks. In fact, in an older version, if I left the menu settings the way it defaulted on installation which hides less frequently used commands, I might have had to make a third click, to expand the menu.

But finding things is much easier because the icons are a visual reference. And I would prefer to make my own custom toolbar, rather than be stuck with the toolbar icons that Microsoft thinks are important and having to search through the menus to find the thing that I want e.

I think it has to do with whether or not a person has managed to learn the ribbon. Aaaa, I agree with you on the loss of productivity when switching to a new interface. However, I agree with James B, that some things are easier and most things are at least as easy using the ribbon and the Quick Access bar. The issues is the learning curve.

I thought Microsoft should have done something similar to what they did with Word 6. Simply including a compatibility ribbon which looks like the Word toolbar would have made the transition easier. There are 3rd party add-ons which do that and create a ribbon which looks and acts like the older Word toolbar.

As soon as I installed the Office product all my Excel files were available again. Thanks for this article. It can open and work on MS Office files. To test it out, you can even install it and use it to edit your current Excel files without any conflicts with MS office. I have Office and Libre Office installed on my computer and use either Office or Libre Office to open the same Excel files without any problems. If you have any questions while switching over, you can ask a question here in comments so others can get the benefit of any answers.

I apologize if this has already been asked: If I purchase Office will the new versions overwrite the versions I have been using? I have developed several programs in Access and I want to continue using them as is. When there are future upgrades in Office will I get to chose when or whether to use them?

The upgrade will overwrite Office , but any files created using Office will remain and be compatible with the new programs. We moved over to using Open Office several years back, and found it quite acceptable for most every aspect of small biz life. Since Microsoft has now decided that our Win7 Pro machines are no longer fit for purpose i. Over the past year, about half our Dell machines are now running Linux Mint Microsoft is still updating Windows 7 with security patches, and will until So I agree, it comes down to numbers and preferences.

First, computers are a commodity, subject to fast obsolescence. That tactic works for me, as I can write off the equipment cost as a business expense engineer-consultant LLC and eventually dispose of it by donating to a charity or a needy individual. Of course I do a lot of uninstalling, cleanup, and a DoD free space shred first. Second, I do contract work for a government agency typically for a 5-year term and each new contract requires the use of a specific version of MS Office.

For example, until the current contract effective for work in , forward , I was required to use Word and PowerPoint when preparing course materials. At that time Office had been out several years. It seems a subscription to Office would be incompatible with such a requirement.

I have been paying for Microsoft Office since my computer was set up for me by a Tech expert who used to service the company I worked for. I am retired, my computer is used mainly for relaxation but I am doing some voluntary accounts work for a sports club.

As well as my own private email address I also have a club address with an outside server and received and send many emails. Would love to hear your comments. Many thanks. The free Libre Office program can open and edit Word and Excel files. The layout of the documents might change a little but no information would be lost. Thunderbird is a good replacement for Outlook.

I prefer Thunderbird to Outlook, fewer useless bells and whistles. I do some voluntary work for a sports club and have a club email address as well as my own private email. Other than the above, my computer is mostly used for my relaxation. Look forward to your comments. Your subscription only affects the installed programs and nothing else.

You can switch to Libre Office to edit those files. I love my office applications. The last upgrade was to a Win 7 machine. My question is will I be able to use the same disk and key on on my newest Win 10 machine? It should work on your new machine. You may have to deregister it from the previous machine to allow it to reregister on the new one. There is a statement that may have been correct at the time the article was written but is not correct now.

The Personal version can also be installed on 5 computers. It can only be used by the one user on the 5 computers. It can not be used by a different user on the other computers. Includes premium Office apps for up to 6 users on PC or Mac.

I encourage my students to use it for term papers. The pictures actually stay where you put them when you add a paragraph.

First, I think being the paying subscriber……you get to share the subscription with FOUR other people….. Second, the storage capability is much better than you mention. I hereby correct myself! For Home, starting October 2nd, that updates to six users, across all your devices and each user can be signed into five devices at the same time.

Technically, that means an Office Home customer could have 30 Home subscriptions running at the same time, with each user getting five signed-in devices. Alas, Office is no longer offered as a stand alone and I have not found a viable alternative to it.

If I did find a replacement, how would I be able to transfer all of the data in my PST file emails, contacts, calendar. I contacted MS chat support to clarify some of the questions in these comments.

The five computers can be Macs, PCs, or any combination. We also now have a definition of household. Auto renew is fine if it is optional. I cannot accept forced auto renew.

Remind me to renew when the year is almost done. Do NOT charge my credit card and and then tell me about it. I recently got a credit card charge for renewal of a subscription to software product I stopped using a long time ago.

No warning. I immediately cancelled but I got no refund. How do you keep track of dozens of subscriptions that you may stop using during the year? I cancel any new subscription that forces auto renew. How will my spouse deal with all the future charges after I die?

I am 74, but it can happen to anybody at any time. I acquired Microsoft Office Professional in when I was introduced to it in a large company professional environment. I have been using it since then on all of my former and current home computers with operating systems XP, W7, W8, W10 as of now.

It still works as before. There is no support for it, but then over the years I have developed an expertise that does not require help. None of the Microsoft upgrades ever deal with simple business problems. I am often using a spreadsheet with data entry from a previous year, like All of the whiz-bang, fabulous upgrades have nothing to do with my basic business use of Excel.

So I keep mine as long as possible. How does this extension fit into all this Microsoft boxed and subscription software if at all? I was just curious. Oh Leo. But they sure make it hard to find onetime payment online or in any store! How many users need to go beyond Word, Excel, PowerPoint. One-time payment. It is a rental! You have to keep purchasing it. MS is adding new features to that are not given to one-time payment. The applications are no longer the same! That is an important distinction, part of the benefits of paying more for than one-time payment.

If you NEED to use the bleeding edge features, then the only option is You need to clarify your statement about Home subscription users. Oh yes, MS has massively increased the price of ! That is a huge price increase, even if most people did not see it. Sales at newegg. Just stock up when its on sale and buy 2 or 3 key cards, registering them as the subscription expires each year.

I too was suspect when Microsoft went to the subscription model for Office. But they give us a real deal, unlike goniffs like Adobe, Corel, Quicken, and others that have turned subscriptions into a more costly option. Adobe may be the absolute worst of the bunch.

I believe you only have to be logged on to the Internet at least once a month to keep your registration up to date. In the 42 years since I first used a computer in school that was a large disappointment. All my money has gone into hardware and some basic software, printer ink and getting my last stubborn PC to upgrade at the computer shop three months of trying was enough, it finally took. Any reason for old people to pay for ? At 68 I feel they are ripping me off?

Thanks, Ed Dostie. It all depends on whether you need the features or not. I use Office because of the OneDrive which I use to synchronize and back up my computers, otherwise Libre Office would suit my needs.

I have a friend that got a Mac with ms office. After setting up the multiple apple IDs and passwords required these days she set up ms office. Got logged out of office and forgot the password and had not set up recovery. She had the store receipt and the product code but Microsoft refused to help. Hundred bucks down the drain. She had a vital college project due so I lent her my old laptop with office from piratebay- she had zero problems.

Before you try to scare us with virus stories I have never had any problems using pbay or torrent sites and never used antivirus. Never paid for ms office and never will after that. Software piracy is theft, plain and simple. If you want free software, there are free alternatives to almost all popular programs. For most people, Libre Office will do everything they need in an office program. And many pirated programs do contain malware. We used to be able to buy Office at a discount through our company for home use.
