[Closed] Office for Mac 2016 - Any cheaper routes?

Open Office for Mac (free) and Apple Pages/Numbers/Keynote (also free with El Capitan) which I use.

Office 365 lets you have it on a monthly subscription for £7 pm, also you sometimes get it chucked in as part of a package e.g. I can get it through BT Business Broadband which I have at work. (Or as mentioned above the free Apple programs which are pretty good if you just want to do basic stuff and don't actually [i]need[/i] Office.)

I got office on my mac a few years ago through my companies Home Use Programme for about £19 or so. The idea being that you can do work at home on your own computer hence why it's cheap. When I changed my HDD ocver it needed the lisence code whcih i'd lost so I went for an Open Source suite intesad. It's every bit as good as MS Office from what I can tell and for the purposes I use it. Completely compatible with Office files either way.

I have it on the 365 subscription. It's a million times better than 2011 for Mac, worth getting!

For a 1 yr sub, yes? Not buy out-right?

I'm seeing £63 for that [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Office-Licence-Users-subscription/dp/B00A2ILUZO/ref=sr_1_1?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1444456599&sr=1-1&keywords=office+365+family ]Microsoft Office 365 Home - 5 Users - 1yr Subscription [Download][/url]

Buy outright is well over £100 for a one user license or nearly £200 if you want Outlook included.

I'm still trying to decide if the sub is the way to go. Sub is roughly the same price as three years of buy-outright. Previously that would have been a no-brianer as MS only update Mac Office once a decade. But they now say they're going to update yearly, so a sub may be a better bet as I'd always have the latest.

But then, Office 2011 suits my home use fine, so no real need to upgrade.

Yeh - 1 yr sub.
