It empowers your teams to create compelling documents, analyse complex data, deliver stunning presentations, and manage communications with an efficiency that feels entirely native to the Apple ecosystem.

Key features and benefits

Office 2024 is fully optimised for Apple's M-series chips, leveraging the unified memory architecture and Neural Engine for faster document rendering, complex formula calculations in Excel, and smoother graphical effects in PowerPoint, all while maximising battery life.
• A Modern, macOS-First Interface: Work in an environment designed for the Mac. Outlook has been completely redesigned with a clean aesthetic that complements Apple Mail, while Word, Excel, and PowerPoint seamlessly support macOS features like system-wide Dark Mode, Focus modes, and Handoff, allowing you to start a task on your Mac and continue effortlessly on your iPad.
• Advanced Document Creation in Word: Go beyond basic text editing. Utilise Immersive Reader for distraction-free focus, advanced dictation with voice commands for hands-free authoring, and sophisticated proofing tools that ensure your communications are clear, professional, and error-free.
• Powerful Data Analysis in Excel: Make informed decisions with the same powerful calculation engine found in the Windows version. Leverage modern functions like dynamic arrays, XLOOKUP, and LET to simplify complex spreadsheets, and use the refreshed charting engine to transform raw data into intuitive, compelling visualisations.
• AI-Powered Presentations in PowerPoint: Create polished presentations in seconds. Designer intelligently suggests professional layouts based on your slide content, while the exclusive Rehearse with Coach feature uses AI to analyse your pacing, filler words, and slide timing, providing real-time feedback to perfect your delivery.

Integrated calendar, a focused inbox, and intelligent scheduling tools help you manage a busy professional schedule without leaving the application.
• Perpetual License for Long-Term Value: Make one purchase and own the software forever. This is a classic, one-time payment license with no subscription fees, providing a predictable cost and long-term stability for your organisation's software budget.

What's included with your purchase

When you purchase Microsoft Office 2024 Standard for Mac from Lizensa, you receive everything needed for a swift, secure, and compliant installation. Your order confirmation email will contain a genuine, Microsoft-verified retail license key, a direct download link to the official Microsoft installation package, a comprehensive activation guide, and a VAT invoice for your records.

This is a retail license, the most flexible and user-friendly type available. It is a perpetual license, meaning it is a one-time purchase valid for the lifetime of the device it is installed on, with no expiry date or recurring subscription fees. The license is assigned to a single Mac computer. Activation is a straightforward online process completed through the Microsoft Office application using the key you receive. This license is valid for use across all 27 EU member states.

Office versions compared — which one should you buy?

Choosing the right Office version depends entirely on your needs. The primary decision is between a one-time purchase like Office 2024 and a Microsoft 365 subscription.

• One-Time Purchase (Office 2024 Standard): This is a classic, perpetual license. You pay a single, upfront cost and gain lifetime access to the specific applications included (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook). It is ideal for users and organisations who need a stable, predictable software set without ongoing costs and do not require the latest feature updates. It is the most cost-effective choice over a 3-5 year period.
• Microsoft 365 Subscription: A subscription provides access to a broader suite of apps, including Teams and OneNote, plus 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage. It includes ongoing feature updates and can be installed across multiple devices. This is better for users who always need the very latest features and value cloud services, but it comes with a recurring monthly or annual cost.

Which apps are included in this edition? Office 2024 Standard for Mac includes the core business applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. It does not include OneNote or Teams, which are part of the Microsoft 365 subscription or the Office Home & Business 2024 edition.

Who is this edition best for? This Standard edition is purpose-built for commercial and institutional environments. It is the perfect choice for small to medium-sized businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies that manage multiple Mac workstations and require a consistent, volume-deployable productivity suite with a predictable, one-time cost. It is less suited for a single home user who might benefit from the cloud storage and multi-device rights of a Microsoft 365 subscription.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?

This is a one-time, perpetual license purchase. You pay once and own the software for the lifetime of your Mac. There are no monthly or annual subscription fees.

What is the difference between a retail and an OEM license?

A retail license, like this one, is the most flexible type. It can be transferred to a new computer if you replace your Mac. An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is typically pre-installed on a new PC and is permanently tied to that first machine, making it non-transferable. We sell only genuine retail licenses.

How fast will I receive my license key?

Our delivery is instant and automated. On average, the email containing your product key, download link, and invoice arrives in your inbox within 60 seconds of payment confirmation.

Is this a genuine and legal Microsoft license?

Absolutely. Every license we sell is 100% genuine, sourced directly from authorised European distributors, and is fully legal for activation and use across all 27 EU member states. You will receive a valid VAT invoice with your purchase.

What if I have trouble with activation?

Activation is typically a seamless one-click process. However, if you encounter any issues, our free, multilingual technical support team is available to help you. We can often resolve problems remotely in minutes.

Can I reinstall or transfer this license to a new Mac?

Yes. You can reinstall the software on the same Mac as many times as needed. As a retail license, it is also transferable. If you buy a new Mac, you can uninstall Office from the old device and install and activate it on the new one.

Does this license work in my country within the EU?

Yes, this license is valid for activation and use in all 27 member states of the European Union without restriction.

What payment methods do you accept?

Our Stripe-secured checkout supports all major payment methods, including credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, and Google Pay.

Do you provide a VAT invoice?

Yes, a full, compliant VAT invoice is automatically generated and included with your order confirmation email. For eligible B2B customers within the EU, a reverse-charge VAT mechanism is available.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a full, 14-day money-back guarantee in compliance with EU consumer protection law. If you are not satisfied for any reason, you can request a full refund within 14 days of purchase.

Is this version compatible with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) Macs?

Yes, it is natively compatible. Microsoft Office 2024 for Mac is built as a Universal binary, meaning it runs natively at full speed on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel-based Macs for optimal performance.

Does this include OneNote and Teams?

No. The Standard edition includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Microsoft Teams and OneNote are available as free downloads but are not part of this specific licensed bundle.
