Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Office Professional Plus and Office Home & Business?
Office Professional Plus includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, and OneNote. Office Home & Business includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. The main difference is that Professional Plus includes Access for databases. Professional Plus 2021 also includes Publisher, which has been removed from the 2024 version. Home & Business activates directly through your Microsoft account, while Professional Plus uses a separate installation method.
Do I need a subscription for Microsoft Office?
No. All Office licences sold by Software Supplies are one-time purchases with lifetime activation. You pay once and use the software for as long as you want — there are no monthly or annual fees. This is different from Microsoft 365, which is a subscription service.
Is Publisher included in Office 2024?
No. Microsoft has removed Publisher from Office 2024 and is retiring the application entirely in October 2026. If you need Publisher, Office Professional Plus 2021 is the only version we stock that includes it. Our advisor tool above will recommend this version if you select Publisher as a requirement.
Can I use the same Office licence on both Windows and Mac?
No. Windows and Mac versions of Office require separate licence keys. The advisor tool asks which type of computer you use so it can recommend the correct version for your operating system.
What if I only need Microsoft Word?
If you only need word processing, you can buy a standalone Microsoft Word 2024 licence for £54 instead of paying for a full Office suite. This is available for both Windows and Mac and is ideal for writing documents, letters, CVs, and reports.
Are these genuine Microsoft licences?
Yes. Every licence sold by Software Supplies is 100% genuine. All purchases include instant digital delivery, a lifetime warranty on the licence key, and UK-based customer support.
