Description
Microsoft Office 2021 Home and Business for Mac is a perpetual licence for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on macOS, with commercial-use rights and native Apple silicon support. It costs less than the 2024 release and is delivered by email as a digital key from license4u.co.
When 2021 makes more sense than 2024
Two situations. Your Mac runs a macOS version that Office 2024 no longer supports, or you simply want Outlook and commercial rights at a lower price and do not need the longest update window. Everything else, from the app line-up to the licence type, is the same.
What is included
- Word 2021 with Focus mode and refined dark mode.
- Excel 2021 with XLOOKUP, dynamic arrays and LET.
- PowerPoint 2021 with narrated slide-show recording.
- Outlook 2021 and OneNote.
Access and Publisher remain Windows-only.
Support timeline
Microsoft has announced that Office 2021 reaches end of support on 13 October 2026, on Mac as well as Windows. The apps keep running after that date but stop receiving security updates. If your Mac supports it, Office 2024 Home and Business for Mac is supported until October 2029.
System requirements
A macOS version supported by Office 2021 (confirm yours before ordering, as Microsoft only supports recent releases), Apple silicon or Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, 10 GB free disk space, and an internet connection plus a Microsoft account to download and activate. Windows users need Office 2021 Professional Plus for Windows.
