What are the differences between Microsoft Office 2021 Home & Student, Home & Business & Professional?

Microsoft Office 2021 is being launched by Microsoft with a variety of Office suites. Find out about the different packages and find out which one is right for you.
Since the introduction of the Office Suite, Microsoft has made life easier for students and data managers. The suite offers a range of tools that make it easier to capture, organise and store data. It is also now possible to present the stored data in a professional way.

Which applications are included in Microsoft Office 2021?

Each Microsoft Office suite includes several Microsoft Office applications. Microsoft Office 2021 is available in the following versions:

• Office 2021 Home & Student.
• Office 2021 Home & Business.
• Microsoft Office 2021 Professional.

We provide a table showing the differences between these versions.

Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021

As the name of the package suggests, it is intended for users who use their computer at home. This package is generally aimed at non-professionals and students. It contains all the basic applications and does not have the enterprise-based software of the other packages.

Software included

The applications included in the Home package are Word, PowerPoint, OneNote and Excel. These are the main Office applications. And these versions will have features that are intended for non-professional users. However, they do not limit you if you use it professionally.

Politics

When you purchase a Microsoft Office Home licence, you agree not to use it on more than one computer. However, one option allows you to install the entire package on up to three computers.

However, these three computers must be in the same household. This means that the IP address must be the same for all these workstations. If the software detects a different IP address, it may prevent you from using the applications.

In this sense, it is possible to transfer an installation from one PC to another. In doing so, you also transfer the licence to another computer. This means that the PC from which it is transferred is no longer listed.

Which programmes are included in this version?

• Word
• Excel
• PowerPoint
• Onenote

How long is the licence valid?

The Office Home & Student 2021 licence is a perpetual licence. This means that there are no further costs after purchase, unlike with an Office 365 licence.

Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021

The Microsoft Office 2021 Home & Business version is more comprehensive than Home & Student. It contains the applications of the suite mentioned above, but also Microsoft Outlook. This version is an excellent choice for businesses. This package can be installed on 1 PC and the licence is valid forever.

Which programmes are included in this version?

• Word
• Excel
• PowerPoint
• OneNote
• Outlook

How long is the licence valid?

The Office 2021 Home & Business licence is a perpetual licence. This means that there are no further costs after purchase, unlike with an Office 365 licence.

The Microsoft Office 2021 Business Use Licence (Volume Licence) is ideal if you want to use an Office suite for your business.

These licences and variants are available for companies with more than 5 users. With volume licences you can work flexibly, as additional users can be created at any time. You can reduce the number of users at any time to avoid paying for unused licences.

Microsoft Office 2021 Professional

Unlike the Home package, the Professional package is for professionals. It contains the core applications and some of the additional enterprise-based software. The package is designed to enable buyers to work effectively with other organisations.
In addition to the supplied applications for private users and companies, Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Access are also included in this package.

Office 2021 Professional is available as a perpetual licence and is a volume licence, making Professional the ideal office suite for businesses.
