One-time purchase Microsoft licences

What are Microsoft licences with a one-time purchase?

Microsoft licences based on a one-time payment allow you to use classic Office applications permanently on one device. Unlike subscription models, there are no monthly or annual fees. Once activated, the software remains available for the lifetime of the device, making it a stable and cost-effective solution for users with basic productivity needs.

Who should choose one-time Microsoft licences?

These Microsoft licences are ideal for home users, students or small businesses that don’t need frequent feature updates or cloud-based services. If you only need Word, Excel or PowerPoint on one device, a perpetual licence avoids ongoing costs and works entirely offline. It’s especially useful in environments with limited internet access or strict IT requirements.

Features and limitations

After purchase, you receive a unique product key to install the software. While security and compatibility updates are generally included, you won’t receive major upgrades to newer versions. Microsoft licences for one-time use are tied to the original device and cannot be transferred. Be sure to select the correct version for your system to avoid compatibility issues.

Simple and predictable software use

Choosing a one-time licence gives you full functionality without recurring billing. It's a predictable, long-term solution for users who value ownership over flexibility.
