Used Microsoft Office licenses
Use all features inexpensively and legally
When open source is simply not an adequate substitute: very few modern companies can manage without Microsoft Office. The numerous versions of the MS Office Suite are characterized by their excellent usability in the office environment as well as their particularly wide recognition and broad user base.
There is one disadvantage: the Office package is not cheap. For companies in which Office applications play a key role in everyday professional life, it is therefore a good idea to buy Microsoft Office second-hand and thus use the essential program suite completely legally at greatly reduced prices.
Soft & Cloud is your smart partner when it comes to buying used software. Here you can legally purchase used Microsoft Office licenses at greatly reduced prices!

Advantages of used Microsoft Office licenses
With a used Office license, you can use all the applications in your MS Office Suite for an unlimited period of time. If you buy the right Office license for Microsoft Office used from us and install and activate the Office version, all the programs and functions included will be available to you immediately afterwards. With just one low-cost license, you can use the entire Office package (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) without any time restrictions.
Microsoft Office on-premise or in the cloud as a Microsoft 365 subscription
Microsoft offers two different license models for Office applications:
- On-Premise: You license the programs once and can then install them on a device and use them for an unlimited period of time.
- Microsoft 365: You rent or subscribe to the software and pay a fixed subscription fee each month.
What is the difference between on-premise and cloud?
If you opt for the Microsoft 365 subscription model, the apps (e.g. Word, PowerPoint and Excel) are not stored locally on your PC or notebook, but are available to you in the Microsoft cloud. This means that you need to be permanently connected to the internet to work with the Office programs. You can access your apps and files (which are also stored in the cloud) with any internet-enabled device and your personal login details. However, if you do not have an internet connection for more than 31 days, you will no longer be able to edit, read or print your files - and only for a maximum of 180 days.
With the on-premise version, you install the programs on your PC or another end device and can start them locally as required. You therefore do not need a permanent Internet connection for this model and can also work offline. Although the costs for an on-premise Office license are higher than the monthly subscription fees, you acquire a permanent right of use. Microsoft also guarantees you at least five years of support for the current version of Office 2021, for example. During this period, you are entitled to free function and security updates. After that, you can either continue to use your licensed software free of charge or resell your Office license to save costs.
Microsoft Office volume licenses vs. individual licenses
At Soft & Cloud, you can obtain used Office licenses at low prices as individual or volume licenses for companies. Used licenses are legal; according to ECJ and BGH rulings, licenses from volume contracts may also be sold individually. It is therefore legally unobjectionable to split up volume license contracts, which has various advantages for you as the buyer: Used volume licenses for Microsoft Office make it possible to virtualize office applications; in addition, the volume licenses can be downgraded and are suitable for use with terminal servers.

When you buy a license for MS Office, you have the choice between different versions (Office 2016, Office 2019 or Office 2021), each of which is offered as a Standard or Professional Plus version. The costs for the current version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus are higher than for an older version. You can easily save money by purchasing used Office licenses, because software doesn't wear out. A used license for Microsoft Office offers you exactly the same performance as a new license from the manufacturer, but is considerably cheaper.
Yes, buyers of individual or volume licenses generally have the right to resell their licenses if they no longer use them. It is therefore legal and legally secure to buy Office second-hand or to use it with a second-hand license. This was already established by the ECJ in 2012 and also by the BGH in 2013.
Office Standard offers tried-and-tested programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, plus OneNote and Publisher. The Professional Plus versions also include the Access database. In addition to the versions for Windows computers, the Office applications are also available for Mac.
Microsoft 365 is the new umbrella brand under which Microsoft provides private users and companies with cloud-based Office applications and cloud services for a monthly fee. According to Microsoft, the new name is intended to better reflect the functional diversity of the subscription solution.
