Microsoft Office-Versions for macOS as used software - Overview of the versions available in the Wiresoft Software Shop

In the Wiresoft Software Shop you will not only find the latest version of Office for Mac, but also still popular predecessor versions as used software, such as Office 2016 for Mac, Office 2011, or older packages - each version is available in the Standard edition already as a single-user license. This allows you to use all professional applications of each edition including additional features on your Mac at a reasonable price - both privately and for business for team collaboration and in the cloud, as well as for comprehensive management of communication and scheduling.

The wide range of Office versions for Mac operating systems ensures compatibility with the software versions and server systems available privately or in the company, so if you choose an older Office version, its integration is no problem; often these also require less storage space on the existing hardware, and still meet all the requirements of daily business with the integrated program versions.

Cost-intensive updates are thus avoided with these Used Software Office packages, which puts less strain on the software budget of SMEs or freelancers in particular.

Another advantage of Wiresoft Used Software for Mac is here also the significantly lower price, which is possible by splitting former volume licenses into single-user licenses, which can then be purchased as a one-time purchase version, whereby previous subscription obligations are also eliminated.
