Following limited‑time offers for Windows 11 Pro and Office 2024 that ran through late July 2026, Microsoft added a Visual Studio Professional 2026 discount on 24 July (price $29.97, regular $499.99) and extended the Windows 11 Pro sale to $9.97 until 2 August. The discount campaign continued with a series of lifetime‑license promotions across the Microsoft product line. On 27 May, Microsoft announced a one‑time $249.99 price for Office 2024 Home & Business for both Windows PCs and Macs, while a 2021 Mac version was offered at $44.97 until 31 May. June 19 saw further Mac‑only Office Home & Business lifetime licences at $19.97–$39.97. Early July added Office Home & Business 2021 for $69.97 and Office Professional 2021 for $29.97 (single‑device, perpetual keys). A Slovenian reseller (Keysoff) ran a summer sale on 10 July offering Office 2024 Professional at €16.99 and Windows 11 Pro at €13.55, with bundle codes up to 62 % off. On 16 July a U.S. bundle of Office Professional 2021 plus Windows 11 Pro was priced at $34.97, and a global back‑to‑school promotion listed Windows 11 Pro and Office 2024 Professional Plus for around $20 after a 30 % discount. By 19 July Microsoft itself listed a $7.97 Windows 11 Pro licence (U.S.) and an Australian Office Professional 2021 licence for A$40. A 21 July DealStack sale pushed Windows 11 Pro to $9.97 (U.S.) and Office 2024 Professional Plus to €16.99 in several European markets. The Visual Studio discount remained in place through 26 July. In early August the discount window expanded to include Project Professional 2024 (lifetime licence $48.99, code Aug25) and a bundled Office Professional 2021 + Windows 11 Pro package for $32.97, both valid through mid‑August.
