I understand your logic – and in your case, with multiple computers, it probably *is* cheaper this way.
#Office 2016 home and student comprar upgrade#
I’m happy with Office 2010, and see no need to upgrade to any future version (boxed or otherwise) in the foreseeable future – realistically, it’ll probably be when I get a new computer which is not compatible with it – it’s been 2 years so far, it’ll probably be at least another 2 years until that happens! However, if I decide to stop my subscription to Office 2013, the Office apps will enter a “read-only reduced functionality mode.” This means that I will be able to view or print documents, but won’t be able to create any new documents or edit existing documents.Īlthough you say that the per-year costs are cheaper than the boxed product, aren’t you really comparing 1 year subscription with 1 year use of Office old-school – but most users don’t use Office for just one year! Office 2007, I used until 2011 when I got a great deal on upgrading to office 2010 – that’s 4 years of use, not 1. I can use it for as long as my computer is compatible. If I am using Office 2010, I have that for ever. My understanding is that there is one important draw back… In many (though not all) cases, they can be suitable alternatives. Choose what’s right for you by more objective standards than “I don’t like subscriptions”.Īnd while you’re at it, be sure to factor in OpenOffice and LibreOffice, both of which are free. I’m also not suggesting you go the one-time purchase route.ĭon’t let the fact that it’s a subscription spook you away from what may be a more cost-effective solution. I’m not suggesting you get the Office 365 subscription. To me, getting all of Microsoft Office on five machines for $100 a year is a clear and obvious choice. There’s also nothing that says you have to subscribe forever. In the years since Office 365 has been available, that hasn’t happened. Let’s acknowledge the risk: Microsoft could raise the price. While a subscription may feel kind of “icky” (for lack of a better term), once you get past that initial reaction, in my opinion it’s a great deal. In my opinion, it’s almost a no-brainer as soon as you have two or more computers. It doesn’t take five machines to make the numbers work.
#Office 2016 home and student comprar install#
If you’ve got a mixed household (again, as I do), you install the Mac version of Office on a Mac and the Windows version of Office on a Windows machine … up to five different machines. You’re always guaranteed the latest and greatest versions and features of these key applications.īut if you’re in a home like mine, with at least two different people running at least three or four different computers, it becomes really appealing. It’s not “that much better.” It’s the same product.Įven for a single computer, I think it’s pretty cool. In comparison, Office Home and Student includes four basic Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote), can be installed on exactly one computer, does not include any additional OneDrive space, and costs (at this writing) a one-time payment of $149.99.

There is a cheaper subscription for $69.99 per year, but it can be installed on only one machine. That second point alone makes it really hard to compare against the packaged product, which can be installed on only one machine. You can share it with up to six people “in your household”.There are those who get Office 365 just for the cloud storage.

Whether you want to buy the Professional or the Home and Student edition, you can spend a few hundred dollars and buy one copy. Microsoft Office is still available the way you’ve purchased it in the past. Given everything included, the subscription really is a very good value.

The subscription includes all of the apps, can be used on up to five computers, can be shared with up to six people in your household, and includes a full terabyte of OneDrive storage. Microsoft Office is still available as a one-time purchase for use on a single computer, as are individual Office apps.
