Who this licence is for
A sensible choice for Mac users who want a proven Office version at a lower price than the current generation. If you want the longest possible support period, the 2024 edition is the better buy.
Delivery and activation
The Office for Mac download link and the volume licence file are sent to the email address you use at checkout, straight after your payment is confirmed. A step-by-step guide comes with it, and if the licence ever fails to activate we replace it free of charge.
Good to know
This is a perpetual desktop licence for macOS, not a Microsoft 365 subscription. It does not include the online services, the additional cloud storage or the yearly feature updates of Microsoft 365.
