We see you there rocking that ancient computer. No judgment. In fact, we’re about to make it a little easier to keep your old computer kicking. A lot of old PCs can’t use modern apps like Microsoft 365 well, but don’t stress. You can still get Microsoft Office 2019, and a lifetime license is even on sale for $29.97 (it’s usually $229). 

Why Microsoft Office 2019?

This license comes with the whole 2019 kit and caboodle. That includes: 

  • Word
  • Excel
  • PowerPoint
  • Outlook
  • OneNote 
  • Publisher
  • Access

And here’s a fun new reason to lean on older versions of Microsoft Office. Did you hear Microsoft is actually ending support for Publisher? So, if you don’t want to struggle to create all your handouts and data visuals, this license has your back in a way modern Microsoft 365 won’t. 

And it helps that you don’t have to pay for it every month. This license lasts for life with no recurring payments. You install it on one computer, and then you have it as long as you have that computer. Why rent something you can own? 

Another bonus of using an older version of Office is this one doesn’t have all the AI integrations popping up and interrupting your work. If you don’t want Microsoft’s AI constantly asking to finish your Word docs, this is a good option

March 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT is the deadline to get a Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2019 lifetime license for Windows for $29.97. 

StackSocial prices subject to change.
