[AccessD] Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows: Lifetime License | TechSpot

[Jim Dettman]

 Few things to watch out for with that:

1. "Lifetime" license - While the license is "lifetime", the ability to use
it is not.   Microsoft has dropped support lifecycles to seven years.  First
five are main, last two are extended (security updates only).  They've also
gone out of their way to make using a perpetual license as difficult as
possible, and they want to get everyone on one code base, so they've killed
off anything pre-2016 as quickly as possible.
 
2. One install on one PC literally means that most likely.  It's probably an
OEM license they are selling, and those don't include transfer rights.  You
get to install it on one PC and that will be it.   If your motherboard goes,
you'll be buying a new copy.

3. Updates - You are only going to get security updates and fixes to the
existing features during mainstream support.   You won't get any new
features.   In extended support, you'll only get security updates.

 It is a bargain, but just a heads-up on what you are getting into if you
decide to buy it.

Jim.
