- donmcronald 3y agoThe first thing I do for anything like that is click the pricing tab. Then I see subscription only options, close the tab, and never think about it again. Maybe I’ll go for it in 10 years once MS forces Excel to subscription only licenses and all the current perpetual options are EoL, but until then I’d rather own my data and tools.
