Buy Office for Mac License Keys
Office for Mac gives you the full desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on macOS, without a monthly subscription. Each license on this page is a one-time purchase, binds to your Microsoft account, and is delivered digitally by email.
Every Office for Mac key we sell is the Home and Business edition, which includes Outlook and the right to use Office for work. That makes these licenses suitable for home offices, freelancers and small businesses as well as personal use.
Which Office for Mac Version Should You Buy?
The version you choose decides how long Microsoft keeps your apps updated:
| Version | Support status | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Office Home & Business 2024 | Fully supported | Best choice for new purchases |
| Office 2021 Home and Business for Mac | Near end of support | Only to match existing Office 2021 Macs |
| Office 2019 for Mac | No longer supported; open and print only | Not recommended for new installations |
| Office 2016 for Mac | No longer supported | Not recommended for new installations |
For most Mac users, Office Home & Business 2024 is the version to buy. It is the newest one-time-purchase release and has the longest support window.
What Is Included in Office Home and Business for Mac?
Each Home and Business license for Mac includes these apps:
- Word for documents, letters and reports
- Excel for spreadsheets, budgets and invoices
- PowerPoint for presentations
- Outlook for business email, calendars and contacts
OneNote for Mac is a free download from Microsoft. Cloud extras such as 1 TB of OneDrive storage and Copilot belong to Microsoft 365 subscriptions, not to perpetual Office licenses.
Office for Mac vs Microsoft 365
Both run the same core apps on macOS, but they are paid for differently:
| Feature | Office for Mac (one-time) | Microsoft 365 (subscription) |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Once | Monthly or yearly |
| Devices | 1 Mac per license | Several devices per plan |
| Updates | Security and quality updates until the version's end date | Continuous feature updates |
| Cloud storage | Not included | Included |
| Best for | Predictable costs, stable feature set | Multi-device and cloud-heavy work |
If you want to pay once and use Office on a single Mac for several years, a one-time Office for Mac license is the simpler option.
