  • How would this work if I'm currently half way through my year which I purchased from the MS website at full price?

  • +7

    Whilst these are the lowest prices currently available for Office licences, these are still their regular prices. No need to rush to purchase as you'll be able to purchase later at same price (unless SaveOnIT revise the pricing).

      Yeah this isn't really a bargain IMO

    • Regular price is $129. Even on sale, this is the lowest it's been in 6 months.

    • +2

      Save on IT does fluctuate a bit. Seen it better and worse. Like everything else right now, if it's the best today then it's a bargain.

    Just a reminder, try your work or educational login. (Anyone who have kids should have an education login)

    I am a bit old school and will get downvoted but I don’t understand how people can be happy with paying Microsoft every year for something they used to sell one off with a perpetual licence.

    The software subscription model can go to hell in my books. Big corps eat it up because IT departments are under resourced and time lacked. I guess that’s the foot in the door then consumers just have to take whatever is available. I recommend Libreoffice if you can’t afford yearly fees for a software tool. Or a vpn and a “software acquisition” application.

      Apples and Oranges

      for something they used to sell one off with a perpetual licence.

      It’s not. Microsoft 365 includes a bunch of online services as well as cloud storage. It’s not just Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications.

      They still sell standalone applications not tethered to a cloud service - but it’s not Microsoft 365.

      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-s-the-differ…

    • Big corps already pay Microsoft a lot of money each year for software assurance and support, switching over to E3 or E5 licensing for them is a no brainer.

      Myself at home I just use libre Office.

    • I would think it also depends on the final cost for the amount of users who need access to Office in your family/group. If its 3-6 users then Microsoft 365 Family provides great value.

      Microsoft 365 Family is usually $129 for 6 users, which covers 5 devices per user, whereas Office Home & Student 2021 is $149.99 for one PC/Mac. The subscription will always have access to the latest version of Office whereas you will need to pay for the latest version every few years on the perpetual licence.

      • +1

        So does that mean max of 30 installs i.e. if 6 users happened to own 5 PCs (or VMs) each, that all would be covered concurrently?

        • +3

          Yep that’s correct!

    • +5

      It's the onedrive cloud storage of up to 6TB that makes the deal work for me. Otherwise I would use an open source office flavour.

    • +3

      They still do the perpetual licenses; they recently brought them back, reverting their subscription only approach, because a lot of people have the same thought.

      You're probably happy with your Libre Office, but you can find the MS office suite listed as Office 2021
      MS don't really promote it, but it is still a product line item.

    • +1

      You can buy Microsoft Office 2021 outright which comes in 3 flavours Home & Student, Home & Business and Professional https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/search?q=Mic…

      The reason i wont use 365 is because it's too easy for them to arbitrarily make changes and break existing workflow. At least with the local version you have control over updates and changes.

  • That’s their normal price

  • What's basic And free to install on Win 11 ? Just excel and word.

    • Perhaps have a look at LibreOffice?

    • Or as most have Gmail already, google docs and sheets is more than capable for the majority of people.

    Also…….

    “Stretch your plan from 12 months to up to 15 months

    Your Office software does not stop working on the Microsoft 365 expiry date, there’s a ‘grace period’ of up to 3 months after expiry.“

    Don't forget to buy 5yrs of single user licenses, apply to your account and then upgrade to monthly plan for multi user home account. Big discount over paying for 5yrs of multi user licenses due to a loophole/inability for the billing system to backcharge all prepayments. Saves you $24*5yrs

    • +1

      Please explain more if possible?

      • Buy 5 single license keys. Add to your Microsoft account. Change plan to monthly and home user plan which gives you 6 accounts total and upgrades your entire 5 years too

        • This could theoretically work for 1 year too right? And then just wait til it expires to do it again?

          • @snoopydoop: Yes but you end up paying more as you have to pay for one month in advance at the home plan rate

            • @10101010101: Oh yes I see, good point! Thank you

            • +1

              @10101010101: Adding here for any who come across it, another economical method would be adding your code, getting an extra free month for turning auto renewal on, turning it off again, and repeating for 4 years.

              You'll then end up with 4 years and 4 months, and adding a family month would end up with 4 years and 5 months.

              Purchasing a 5th year code would essentially only be giving you 7 months, so might want to consider not stacking that, or finding a 6 month code from there if it'll be cheaper.

              If you come across 6 month codes that are similar in price to a year, you can end up with 4 years and 8 months + 1 family month via the same method.

    • Even better, find someone in the classifieds to share the family license with.

  • I am on 1 user subscription that started 2 months ago. Can i stack this family with it?

    • Yep and by all reports your remaining 10 months will become 6 users. You can buy a few single user years and then put one family on top. I have not done it. But many say it works.

  • OW always price match these guys with a physical card license. Done it a few years in a row.

    FYI
    If your work uses O365 or microsoft check if you're eligible for the Home Use Program, Family is $90.30 and personal is $69.30. I work in a medium sized business ~250 employees and am eligible. We use O365 for work.

    you can check eligibility at the below link
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/home-use-program

    • Would it not be better to pay extra like $25 or so for extra 5TB of storage?

      • +1

        i think as others have said you stack some personal licences and then switch to family and that way you pay for the singles but get the family.

  • +2

    If you have access to Microsoft HUP form your employer it would be cheaper..I started mine using that and now I am not with that employer but I still get charged only $90.30 for family plan.

  • I still hate that I have to install the whole suite when I just want one app in a hurry

    • Yeah it's annoying that MS have done this by default, but you can customise it using OCT.

    I just purchased another year a couple of weeks ago through G2A. Only cost $78.22.
    (Looks like it's a couple of dollars cheaper today!)

    • Never used G2A before. Any particular sellers you would recommend?
      Looking at a perpetual license rather than O365

      • We've purchased a few things through G2A and Gamivo. Just be guided by total sales and reviews.
        You'll feel much safer spending a couple of extra dollars going through someone with 100k sales and 99% rating than 1k and 98%.

        • OK thanks for the reply.
          I use a similar approach with Amazon, AliExpress etc. and its worked well so far!
