Microsoft Office Licences and Subscriptions at Livecards.net

This category brings together every Microsoft Office product at Livecards.net: one-time licences for Office 2024, 2021, 2019 and 2016, Microsoft 365 subscriptions, Office Home editions, and the standalone Project and Visio apps. Livecards.net supplies the digital key, and activation always happens with Microsoft.

Which Office Version to Choose

The biggest difference between versions is how long Microsoft keeps supporting them:

• Microsoft Office 2024: supported until October 9, 2029. The newest one-time version, though it no longer includes Publisher.
• Microsoft Office 2021: Microsoft set October 13, 2026 as its end-of-support date. Publisher is still included.
• Microsoft Office 2019 and Microsoft Office 2016: support ended on October 14, 2025, so neither receives security updates.
• Microsoft 365: a subscription that keeps getting new features and updates while it's active.

Within each one-time version, Professional Plus adds Access to the apps in Standard. Microsoft Office Home Editions collect the Office packages aimed at home users.

Microsoft Project and Visio

Microsoft Project handles scheduling and resource planning, while Microsoft Visio is built for flowcharts and diagrams. Neither is part of an Office suite, but some software bundle deals combine them with Office.
