Used Microsoft Office 2024 licences
Reduce IT costs with a used Office 2024 licence
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote are among the most frequently used applications, both in the private and business environment. Microsoft regularly updates the Office suite, ensuring that the user base is constantly expanding and that alternatives are barely gaining market share. In addition to the subscription model, which involves monthly fees for use, Microsoft also offers a licence for the latest version (Office 2024), which allows the software to be purchased once and then used permanently. Companies can buy such an Office 2024 licence second-hand from Soft & Cloud and save up to 70% of the costs compared to the prices Microsoft charges for a new licence.
Functions of Office 2024
The Word word processor not only allows you to write correspondence or create documentation, but also offers a wide range of additional functions for structuring, automating and formatting texts of all types and lengths. The Excel spreadsheet is suitable for ad-hoc evaluations or calculations as well as for complex, dynamised reports. Even large amounts of data can be easily structured, analysed and prepared graphically in the form of diagrams. PowerPoint facilitates the creation of presentations, which can be dynamically designed and enhanced with various elements (e.g. graphics, videos). Outlook is a mail client that you can also use to manage contact information, appointments and tasks.
In the current 2024 versions, ActiveX controls are no longer executed by default, and Microsoft has also integrated improvements to the design, accessibility and interaction with smartphones. Excel has been enhanced with 14 new text and array functions and now offers the option for charts to reference dynamic arrays. In addition, the recovery of unsaved content in Word files has been improved.
What is the difference between a used Office 2024 licence and the purchase of a new licence?
If you buy a new Office 2024 licence from Microsoft, you pay the price that Microsoft sets as a monopolist. With a used licence for Office 2024 from Soft & Cloud, you can use all the functions and programs in the same way as with a new licence, but you pay significantly less. This means you save money on the first licence without having to accept any restrictions or other disadvantages.
Differences between Office 2024 Standard Mac, Standard and Professional Plus
If you want to buy a Microsoft Office 2024 licence, you can choose between the Office 2024 Standard (for Windows or for macOS) and Office 2024 Professional Plus editions. The Standard edition is suitable for small companies and contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, each in the 2024 edition. Office 2024 Standard is available for Windows (Windows 10 and 11) as well as for macOS on Intel and Apple Silicone processors and is compatible with the latest macOS versions.
The Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus licence is suitable for users with particularly high requirements and also makes it possible to integrate and use complex databases. This version offers all the programmes and functions of the Standard Edition as well as the Access 2024 database application.
Buy Office 2024 used
At Soft & Cloud, you can buy any Office 2024 licence (Standard or Professional Plus) second-hand at a low price and thus permanently reduce your company's licence costs. In addition to licences for Windows, you can also obtain the required Office 2024 Mac licence from us at unbeatable prices. All licences offered by Soft & Cloud come from reliable sources and are transferred in a TÜVIT-certified, transparent and legally fully secured transfer process. This means that Microsoft grants purchasers of used licences the same rights as purchasers of new licences (free patches and updates, downgrade, sale) and recognises all licences purchased from Soft & Cloud in an audit without restrictions.
You also benefit from our release update package and can upgrade to the latest version free of charge for a period of 2-3 years from the date of purchase as soon as it becomes available. This keeps your IT up to date with the latest technology and your IT budget in the green zone.
On-premise or cloud
Microsoft also offers the programmes from the Office 2024 suite as a subscription as part of Microsoft 365. This is a subscription for which monthly fees are payable for as long as the software is used. No local installation is required, all applications run in the browser, the data is stored in a Microsoft cloud and extensive cloud services are also integrated. However, Microsoft 365 requires a permanent internet connection; only some of the functions are available offline.
The local installation (on-premise) places somewhat higher demands on the hardware, but users retain full control over their data. The purchase option also makes sense from a cost perspective, as there are no ongoing costs for use and used licences from Soft & Cloud are up to 70% cheaper than new licences from Microsoft.
Frequently asked questions and answers
Will there be an Office 2024?
Microsoft Office 2024 is the latest version of the well-known Office suite, which, like the previous versions, can either be rented as a subscription model or purchased as a one-off purchase. There are two different versions to choose from, Microsoft Office Home 2024 and Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024, the latter of which offers Outlook in addition to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote and can also be used commercially.
How much will Office 2024 cost?
The cost of a Microsoft Office 2024 licence depends on the desired version (subscription or purchase) and the edition (Home or Home & Business). As the Microsoft 365 subscription incurs costs every month, this option is more expensive in the long term than the purchase model, especially as the costs incurred can be significantly (and permanently) limited by using used licences from Soft & Cloud.
Which Office version is the latest?
The current Office version from Microsoft is Office 2024, which includes the latest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, as well as Outlook with Office 2024 Home & Business and the Microsoft 365 subscription.
Can you use Microsoft Office for free?
With Microsoft 365 (Office Online), Microsoft offers the programmes Word, Excel and PowerPoint as free browser versions. The prerequisite for use is a Microsoft account, which can be created free of charge. Compared to the full versions, the online versions of the three programmes do not offer all functions and also require an internet connection, meaning they cannot be used offline.
