Product description
Compatibility and support
Office 2021: Microsoft support ends in October 2026. After that, the software can still be used but will no longer receive security updates. For a new purchase, we recommend a current version such as Office 2024.
Microsoft Office 2021 Standard (LTSC) is the streamlined perpetual Office licence for 1 Windows PC and is supplied as a volume licence. You get the classic Office applications with no subscription and no expiry date – the product key, download link and instructions arrive immediately by email.
Who is Office 2021 Standard for?
For workstations where Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook are part of everyday work and the Access database is not needed. Standard is the leaner edition alongside Professional Plus and fully covers typical office tasks.
Your benefits

- All the key Office applications for everyday office work.
- LTSC: a stable feature set with no unexpected changes.

Optional USB stick: The stick is sent by registered post within Germany and arrives in 2–3 working days; shipping is free. With a USB stick, you receive the product key by post instead of by email.
Important information
- Windows-only version; installation on a Mac is not possible with this licence.
- Access and Teams are not part of the Standard edition.
- As an LTSC edition, the 2021 feature set remains unchanged permanently.
- Please note: for digital products, the right of withdrawal may expire once performance has begun – for details, please see the cancellation policy.
