Microsoft Office Home and Business 2021
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2021 is a perpetual-licence bundle of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook 2021 — the classic Office apps, one payment, no subscription. Available for Windows or Mac.
What's included
- Word 2021 — document editing with improved translation, handwriting input (Windows), and updated reading tools
- Excel 2021 — spreadsheets with dynamic arrays, XLOOKUP, LET, and new data-analysis features
- PowerPoint 2021 — presentations with record/replay (Windows), new animation effects, and expanded templates
- Outlook 2021 — email and calendar with integrated translation and Focused Inbox
Microsoft Teams is also available as a free separate download on both platforms.
Windows or Mac — choose at checkout
Office Home and Business 2021 is sold as two platform-specific versions. Select "Windows" or "Mac" above before adding to cart. The product key you receive is platform-locked:
- Windows edition — for 1 Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. Also includes OneDrive Folder Backup.
- Mac edition — for 1 Mac running one of the three most recent versions of macOS. Runs natively on Intel and Apple silicon.
Core Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook functionality works the same on both platforms. Some features differ — handwriting input, OneDrive Folder Backup, and certain PowerPoint features are Windows-only. See the Requirements tab for full system specifications for each platform.
What's new vs Office 2019
- New Excel functions: XLOOKUP, XMATCH, LET, dynamic arrays
- PowerPoint: record-and-replay presentations, new animation effects
- Outlook: integrated translator, refined search
- Refreshed interface across all apps
- Accessibility and collaboration improvements
Frequently asked questions
Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?
One-time purchase. You pay once and keep the software — no monthly or annual fees. You'll receive security updates during Microsoft's support window, but not new features.
Can I install this on both my PC and my Mac?
No. Each key is platform-locked — Windows keys activate on Windows only, Mac keys activate on Mac only. Select your platform above before adding to cart.
Can I transfer my licence to a new computer later?
Yes, within the same platform. Unlink the licence from the old device through your Microsoft account, then activate on the new one. You cannot transfer between Windows and Mac.
Which macOS versions are supported?
Microsoft supports Office 2021 for Mac on the three most recent versions of macOS. As new macOS releases come out, the oldest supported version is retired — see the Requirements tab for the current list.
Should I buy this or Microsoft 365 instead?
Buy Office Home and Business 2021 if you want a one-time purchase and don't need ongoing feature updates. Choose Microsoft 365 if you want always-current apps, cloud storage, and use across multiple devices.
What if my key doesn't activate?
Contact Licendi support (email or live chat, 24/7) with your order number and we'll work on a solution.
