In recent years, many people have made the switch to online, free versions of word processors and spreadsheet programs. At the moment, that’s lifetime access to the 2021 version of Microsoft Office Professional or Home & Business, an offer made possible by an authorized Microsoft partner - and best of all, you only have to pay once for it. If you haven’t yet heard of StackSocial, this start-up company helps readers discover offers and purchase products (including software, gadgets and web services) directly on content sites. (Subscriptions are only good on one device and are non-transferable).

That’s where StackSocial comes in, and right now you can get lifetime access to Microsoft Office Training bundles for as low as $45.95 exclusively with CNN. They’d rather pay once for their software and use it whenever they please rather than shelling out a hefty sum every single month. When it comes to software access, however, the lifetime license model is quickly disappearing - and most users do not like that.

Subscription services make sense for some things (like streaming apps and getting your dog’s food delivered automatically every three months).
