subscription I bought the product once.

Question

I paid for Microsoft when i purchased my computer. Nowhere did it say that it was a subscription.

This is extortion and should be illegal.

Answer 1

There are two main versions of Office currently, a subscription based Microsoft 365 version and a one-time payment version of Office 2024.

If you do not want the subscription based version of Office, you can cancel that subscription using the steps provided on this link.
