Microsoft Office 2013 Pro – Lifetime Retail licence (1 PC)

Microsoft Office 2013 Pro is an office suite as a one-off purchase: you pay once, with no monthly subscription or annual renewal. This Retail version installs on 1 PC and suits older configurations or tight budgets, as well as organisations that need to retain compatibility with documents and macros designed in the Office 2013 era.

The included software

• Word 2013 — word processing, Read mode, direct opening and editing of PDF files.
• Excel 2013 — spreadsheet with automatic column fill, Quick Analysis and recommended charts.
• PowerPoint 2013 — presentations, Presenter mode with notes displayed on the second screen.
• Outlook 2013 — e-mail, calendar, contacts and tasks, with a preview of the day's appointments.
• Access 2013 — relational databases, forms and queries.
• Publisher 2013 — layout of flyers, brochures and business cards.
• OneNote 2013 — note-taking organised into notebooks, sections and pages.

What this version brings

Office 2013 introduced the flat interface inherited from Windows 8, saving to OneDrive, native PDF editing in Word and touch mode. The file formats are those still used today (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx), which guarantees document exchange with correspondents using more recent versions.

What you should know

Office 2013 has been out of Microsoft support since April 2023: the suite works normally, but no longer receives security patches and connection to modern Microsoft 365 services is no longer guaranteed. This choice makes sense for an offline machine, an older computer or purely local office use. For a connected machine used for professional e-mail, a 2019 or 2021 version is preferable.

Activation

Your activation key reaches you by e-mail within 24 hours at most. Install Office 2013, open Word, go to File › Account, enter the key and complete the online activation. If it fails, phone activation remains available from Microsoft.
