Apparently you have to renew a subscription each year to continue using it.  If you go to the Microsoft Office website, you'll get the information.  There are versions of Office where you buy it once.  There are also free downloads of software that is equivalent to Office and there is no charge.  I would be loathe to pay for Office every year. 

 

I have an iMac.  It came with Apple's version of software equivalent to Office (called Pages, Keynote, and Numbers).  There was no charge.  On my previous iMac, I had the older versions and they worked just fine.  One benefit of what I have is that it will automatically convert an Office document I receive to the appropriate Mac equivalent.  Unfortunately, I still have to prepare a "Windows" version of something I'm sending to a PC user.

They must make a lot of money selling this 'annual subscription' version of Word/Office.

 

Geez, you can buy a copy for a small amount of money (well under $100 last I saw) and it's good for three computers - no renewal, just a permanent copy.
