Office 2021 editions compared

License type → Retail

The Retail license is activated with a product key on one Windows PC and stays on that machine. It is worth keeping in mind in a household where computers change hands: the license does not move along with a laptop that changes owner.

It has no expiry and no renewals: paid once, it stays valid as long as that computer is in service. For a license that follows the Microsoft account instead of the PC, the catalogue has the Bind editions.

The language does not depend on the license: Office 2021 installs in the language you prefer and, with Microsoft's free language accessory packs, you add menus, proofing and help in other languages on the same computer. It is useful in a home where people write in several languages, or for a student writing a thesis in another language.

What is new in Office 2021

What the 2021 generation brought to the applications of this edition:

• Dark themeWord, Excel and PowerPoint can be used with a dark background, in the sheet area too
• Excel 2021dynamic arrays and XLOOKUP, the function that replaces VLOOKUP without counting columns
• Word 2021Line Focus to read one line at a time, modern comments with replies in a thread
• PowerPoint 2021recording the presentation with ink and laser pointer on the slides
• OneNote 2021the Windows application installed along with the others, no longer a separate download

One fact to know before buying: Microsoft has set 13 October 2026 as the end of security updates for the 2021 generation. The license stays perpetual and the program keeps working afterwards too, but without fixes; anyone needing a longer window will find the 2024 generation in the catalogue, followed until October 2029.
