For Those Who Don't Want 365

I've never been one to pay a monthly fee for the use of office applications so this product was exactly what I was looking for.

The days of Microsoft being reasonable and affordable are far from gone, so as someone who prefers to pay ONCE rather than every month, this Office 2019 professional package was ideal for me.

For those sceptical of the price, don't be, this is the full version and the product key works fine.

Upon purchasing this item, you will receive a message via your email account with the product key, you enter it on setup.com, then once downloaded activate online and you have Office 2019 with no more additional payments or hassles.

It is a one time use code and will not work on multiple computers but at this price, I purchased one for each of my computers and it still worked out cheaper than buying a single license from Microsoft direct.

I understand Office 365 syncs and saves to the cloud, but there are plenty of applications which can do that for your office documents for free!!

I highly recommend this product and cannot understand why people continue to pay monthly for a product you can buy outright.

Easy to install but too complicated for me :)

It has everything and more than I need but too difficult for my old brain to use, going back to 2010 so will let me son use this. Very easy to install and aactivate though

Easy Install

Easy to follow the instructions, no problems with download from Microsoft or product key. Well worth the money.

There's no doubting the power and prowess of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, which are better than ever

In terms of features and capabilities, the likes of Word, Excel and PowerPoint are still hard to touch. However, the cloud-based features and regular updates of Office 365 are well worth considering for your business needs, even if you do have to fork out money to Microsoft every month.

If you are going to pay a monthly fee, G Suite is also a strong contender for your cash. Its apps aren't quite as powerful as Microsoft's, but they're slick and fast, and built with the web in mind. They might suit you better if you need speed and simplicity rather than a long list of features that you're never going to use.

It really all comes down to you and the needs of your business. If you work on a single computer, with not much need for sharing and collaborating on documents, then Office 2019 remains hard to beat – you can make your single payment, get your software installed, and then you're set for years to come.
