Mashable is offering readers the opportunity to obtain a lifetime device license for Microsoft Office 2019, including applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more, through a one-time purchase priced at A$47. This offer provides an alternative to the ongoing costs associated with Microsoft 365 subscriptions by allowing users to pay once and utilize the software indefinitely. The promotion, available via the Mashable Shop until March 30, represents an 86% discount off the regular price.
Microsoft Office 2019, though not the latest version, serves as a cost-effective solution for those who primarily use the applications and are less concerned with software aesthetics or additional AI functionalities. The suite includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access, making it a comprehensive package for a wide variety of tasks.
Choosing a lifetime license over a Microsoft 365 subscription might appeal to users who do not leverage OneDrive storage, mobile app access, or cloud-based backups extensively. The lifetime license involves direct downloads onto a PC, removing the dependence on cloud services and facilitating offline work without interruptions. The introduction of AI features in Microsoft 365 may deter some users, making the classic Office 2019 suite, free from such integrations, a preferable option.
This promotional offer for the Microsoft Office 2019 lifetime license ends on March 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT, provided through Stacksocial, with the notice that prices are subject to change.
