On 30 March 2020, Microsoft announced that the subscription versions of Office 365 were getting a new name. From 21 April 2020, Office 365 Personal and Office 365 Home were renamed Microsoft 365 Personal and Microsoft 365 Family. The content and functionality didn't change - only the name. So if you're still searching for "Office 365", in practice you mean the same subscription as "Microsoft 365". The one-time packages without a subscription kept the name "Office", followed by the year (such as Office 2024).
Four questions will quickly lead you to the right package:
Do you want a subscription that stays automatically up to date, or would you rather make a one-time purchase with no annual
costs?
Choose a subscription with Microsoft 365, or a one-time purchase with Office 2024.
Do you use Office on your own, or together with your family?
For 1 user, choose
Microsoft 365 Personal or Office Home 2024. For a family of up to 6 people, choose Microsoft 365 Family.
Are you self-employed, or working from a company with multiple employees?
As a sole trader or freelancer,
Office 2024 Home Use & Self-Employed
is often the best fit. Working with multiple employees? Then take a look at
Microsoft 365 Business Standard with licence key
or the Microsoft 365 subscriptions for businesses on the
Microsoft 365 Business page.
Do you also want to be protected against viruses and online threats right away?
Choose one of the combo deals of
Microsoft 365 with security software, so you get everything from a single purchase, at a better price than
if you bought Office and security separately.
Take a look at the full subcategory for your situation:
2GO Software is an official Microsoft Solutions Partner. That means your licence is 100% genuine and properly registered to your name with Microsoft - you can always reinstall the software or transfer it to another computer. Read on our Microsoft Partner page what that partnership actually involves.
You also get more than just the Office licence with every purchase. Can't manage the installation yourself? Then one of our team members will simply install the software for you remotely, via a secure remote session, at no extra cost. Run into an issue or have a question? We're available 7 days a week via chat, email, WhatsApp and phone, including weekends.
Still not satisfied after purchase? Then you simply get your money back, with no complicated conditions. And because your licence and download link land directly and automatically in your inbox after payment, you never have to wait: everything is available for immediate delivery. With every package, you also get a step-by-step installation guide, tailored to your operating system and the chosen product, so you can get started without any hassle.
There is no difference in content between Office 365 and Microsoft 365, but there is in name: Microsoft renamed Office 365 to Microsoft 365 as of April 21, 2020. The features remained the same.
The price depends on the type of licence (annual subscription or one-time purchase) and the number of users. View the current price per package at the top of this page or on the product page itself.
That depends mainly on how you plan to use Office and with whom.
Do you work or study alone and simply want the latest version every year? Then Microsoft 365 Personal is the logical choice: 1 user, up to 5 devices.
If you prefer to share with your family or housemates, Microsoft 365 Family is more economical, up to 6 people on one subscription, each with their own devices and storage.
Do you prefer not to renew every year and would rather pay once? Then choose Office 2024: Home & Student for home use and school, or Home & Business if you are a freelancer or self-employed.
If you work from a company and want to manage Office centrally with a license key, Microsoft 365 Business Standard is the best fit.
And if you have a larger organization with more than, say, 10 workstations, Microsoft 365 Enterprise is often a better fit thanks to its more extensive management capabilities.
