    They added this service to my purchase and I didn't catch it. Hope the same doesn't happen to you. No need for it.

    The software is necessary in my day to day work. It worked better than previous versions performed. However it is to early to say how it will perform in the long run.

    This was ok. Bought it because I lost my lifetime one. Then lost this one and not sure I was ever able to use it. Ooh well

    Thought I was buying office for my desktop. Turns out my documents are held on their server not mine. So they charge you every year and I have no choice but to repay them every year for something I purchased. Next they will figure out how to sell you a computer AND charge you every year to use it.

    I miss the old days of buying a license and it being yours forever...one purchase and done...but I guess Microsoft is going away from that. Oh well.

    Trying the subscription model

    I'm trying the subscription model because I get a new laptop every 2-3 years and $70/year is better than $250-$300 for the version you own.

    It took forever to get a 'key' for the download. After multiple codes I was able to finally register the product.

    Download took forever, but other then that I am happy. Wish the sales rep would have asked if I had a work account, I could have saved this purchase.

      Hello RDteach, Many of the updates made to Office were from feedback we received from consumers like you. With this feedback, Microsoft came out with Office 365 (subscription based only) versions and Office 2016 versions sold at a one-time retail price and you own it forever. We hope this was helpful to you Microsoft
