Outlook isn’t included in this version, but since March 2023 Microsoft has started offering Outlook for free, and you can download that on the Mac App Store. The latest version of Office for Mac for home users is Office Home & Student 2021 ($149.99/ £119.99). If you don’t want to sign up for a subscription and would rather own the software outright, you will be glad to hear that Microsoft continues to sell and update the Office 2021 suite. Despite the name change and a bunch of upgrades at that time, the prices remain the same. The service, previously called Office 365, rebranded as Microsoft 365 in April 2020. If you subscribe you benefit from the fact that you always receive the latest updates to the software, continuously, without the need of having to buy the whole program or suite again. This’ll license the software for you.Īnd there’s no problem with running multiple versions on the same Mac, just so you know, so this shouldn’t mess with your 2016 programs at all.The latest version of Office for Mac is available via a Microsoft 365 subscription which costs from $69.99/ £59.99 per year or $6.99/£5.99 per month). When the installation is complete, you will have to use the same Office 365 account info that you used above to log in. Then you’ll use the disk image to install the software just like you would any other program. Then you’ll see an option to “Install previous version.”Ĭlick “Install” on the screen following that one (whew!), and it’ll download. On the following page, click the big red “Install” button. (You would’ve set these up when you purchased your Office 365 subscription.)

To grab it, go to and log in with your Microsoft credentials. If you have any reason that you might need that older version of the suite, now’s the time to snap it up! On September 22, Microsoft will stop offering the 2011 version of its Office software to Office 365 customers.
