Don't want to know anything about subscriptions? Indications point to a 2021 version of Office with a one-time payment on Windows and macOS

"

Almost three years ago our colleague Javier Pastor thanked Microsoft for launching a version of Office that ignored the subscription system that is causing so much weariness for a good part of users. Those from Redmond continued to bet on the single payment with Office"

Microsoft knows that despite the competition, Microsoft has a source of income, but also customers, that it must take care of. We have associated each of its programs, Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint... to the functions they offer and that denotes the depth of these applications.And Microsoft, aware of the potential, has also set out to conquer the macOS environment. And to compete with pre-installed tools such as Keynote, Numbers or Pages, nothing better than a one-time payment Office, continuing the legacy of Office 2019

A one-time payment on macOS and Windows

The potential of Office is greater than that offered by Apple applications and almost the same could be said of the rest of the code tools open files found in both Windows and macOS. And in the case of Apple's system, despite the fact that its office suite is already loaded, I don't know of a macOS user who has stopped using Office in any of its versions.

Microsoft already has a subscription solution to its credit such as Office Microsoft 365, an annual/monthly subscription that offers access to the different services of the company, something that we already saw in its day.But for those who do not want this type of solution, Microsoft is committed to a single payment. And this is what they say, from Windows Central, that it will happen in the version of Office for macOS in 2021.

If we currently have the 2019 version of Office (it came to succeed the 2016 version), the next revision could continue to opt for the one-time payment so that we get a perpetual license, without having to make other payments, although yes, we lose the option of receiving new functions.

Microsoft could launch this one-time version of Office in the second half of 2021 and it would not only be available for macOS, as Windows clients would also have this possibility. An edition of Office that could reach the market under the name of Office 2022 and which would include classic applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint as well as the email manager email Outlook.And the price? It should be similar to the 2019 version of Office.

In a market in which an application to read QR codes, an app that offers relaxing sounds or another to determine whether or not you snore, already ask for subscription use (these are only three examples), the That a powerful tool such as Office continues to bet on the single payment model is a fact that is highly valued since there are a large number of users who prefer this system.
