You Have Less Than 48 Hours to Get a Microsoft Office Professional Plus License for $25
Pick up a lifetime Microsoft Office subscription at a massive discount while you still can.
Microsoft Office has proven itself as an invaluable tool over the years, whether for professional or personal use. Millions upon millions of people use this software on a daily basis, and for good reason. The only difficulty is upgrading and trying not to spend over the odds. Well thankfully for the next 48 hours, you can pick up a copy of Microsoft Office at a ridiculously low price.
If you're tired of monthly subscription fees, check out this limited-time Microsoft Office deal at StackSocial. You can get your hands on a lifetime Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 license for just $25 for Windows or Office Home and Business 2019 for Mac, and enjoy access to the apps for the life of your machine. That's a huge discount of 89% off, but this deal isn't going to last long, so act fast to get yours now.
There are two versions of Office here. Mac users will get the Home and Business suite of apps, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams Classic and OneNote, while Windows users will get the Professional Plus version with additional apps like Publisher and Access. Just keep in mind that you won't get Microsoft Teams on the Windows version.

This isn't the latest version of Office, but compared with signing up for the Microsoft 365 subscription suite, which costs $7 a month or $70 a year for individuals, StackSocial's offer is a great deal. There is a free online version of Microsoft Office out there that you can use, but it lacks several features, so this may be a better option. And Apple users can now score Outlook as a free app for the Mac. Even so, the additional productivity apps available may make this bundle a sound investment. With less than 44 hours left (at the time of writing), act fast not to miss out.
Some important things to note: You'll get a one-time use code for a single computer, which means you won't be able to download these apps on multiple devices. That means that if you upgrade to a new computer or your current one dies, you likely won't be able to transfer the suite. These licenses also lack some of the added conveniences you'll get with a 365 subscription, including OneDrive cloud storage and cloud-based AI features, including Microsoft Copilot. Additionally, these apps should work for as long as your computer does.
Now that you have some sweet new software, you might need a computer to go with it. Be sure to check out our regularly updated list of the best laptop deals to make sure you don't overpay.
