Microsoft Office has always been available as a standalone purchase.
2013, 2016, 2019, and 2021 perpetual versions have all been released alongside the subscription offering.
I'm not sure what you mean in another comment by "not offline" - it will work perfectly well offline after you activate it, just like all versions of Office since Office XP.
- maratc 4y agoI have the 365 subscription (from school) and it asks for password every couple of months. The old Office was activated once, and never asked for that again.
- goosedragons 4y agoBecause it's the 365 subscription. The standalone versions don't do that. You just activate once the same as the old versions.
