The price increases vary across Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. In Australia, for example, Microsoft has increased Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions by $4 AUD per month, and Personal subscriptions by $5 AUD. That’s a lot less than the $33 AUD Microsoft wanted for Copilot Pro in Australia previously.

Lifetime licenses are a little different than Microsoft 365: You download the apps directly to your computer, so they aren’t cloud-based, continually updated, or accessible by mobile. But you will get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, and Access at your beck and call without fees.
