Every few years, Microsoft releases a new version of Office. The latest version is Office 2024. It is possible to purchase Office with a one-time payment, allowing you to use the programs indefinitely. However, at some point, the purchased version may no longer work properly (or integrate smoothly) with a new computer or software used by your family or colleagues. When that happens, it's time to upgrade to a newer version. If you choose to buy Office, we recommend purchasing the latest version (provided your system supports it).
Microsoft 365 subscription
Microsoft 365 is the name of Microsoft's subscription plans. Throughout the subscription period, you can access all the features included in your plan.
With a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription, you can:
Install programs on multiple devices
Extra features like Teams and Onedrive
Upgrade to the newest Office version at no additional cost as soon as it becomes available
At the end of your subscription period, you have the option to renew or cancel. If you cancel, you will no longer have access to the programs or other benefits..
New Subscription or Renewal
Microsoft 365 does not distinguish between a new subscription or a renewal. The same product can be used to start a new subscription or extend an existing one.
That means a renewal has the same price as a new subscription. To renew, simply purchase the same product as last year. You will receive a new license code and
step-by-step renewal instructions.
You can also purchase a renewal from us, even if you originally subscribed through another retailer or directly via Microsoft last year. If you have an account
at www.microsoft.com, you can enter the license code purchased from us in there.
