Hi Pete,
OK you bit the bullet. Being retired, I don’t have the option of employee discount OR tax deductibility – but even at Officeworks $113 to renew for a year, I reckon I can afford 30c/day! $55 sounds like more than a 30% discount – presumable that’s also after the tax deduction?

The one off license is now $199, I would be up for 1 now and another soon I suspect, but I eventually decided to go with Office 365 (family - 6 users) but my employer is an MS user and via that as an employee i am eligible for a 30% ongoing annual discount. So deal is done. Tax deductible too, so whilst on principle I didn’t want to lock in for ‘life’, it is done - net cost to me ~$55/annum. Regards Pete.

I suppose I am going to have to go the 365 route - for the two of us - as the kids all have direct access to Office via their school/Curtin Uni associations so it seems a waste to provide them additional Office access when they already have it. At $199 per single installation, I’d need two of them. Regards Pete. On 28 Mar 2021, at 10:54 pm, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: Got my 2019 from SoftwareDepot.co in Sydney.

Can anyone recommend a seller for this - I want the one off purchase not the annual renewal option? Thanks in advance.
