I'm a student looking for a way to use Microsoft Office without paying for it. I currently have Office 2021 on my computer, but it keeps prompting me to activate every 3 to 4 months. I've tried various methods I found on YouTube to bypass this, but they only work temporarily, and then I have to uninstall and reinstall a new version. Is there a permanent solution to this activation problem?

You can also use Office online for free! It has many of the same features, plus you don't have to worry about activation.
Why not just download LibreOffice? It's completely free and has a very similar interface to Microsoft Office. I've been using it for years, and while there might be some small differences, it usually works just fine for school work!
Many schools actually provide Microsoft Office for free to students through an enterprise license. Have you checked with your school to see if they offer this? I've seen a lot of students miss out on it just because they weren’t aware.
Wow, really? That’s surprising! I guess some students really miss out on those offers.
Yeah, it’s kind of wild how many don’t know about it!
Honestly, I'd recommend ditching Microsoft Office and going with LibreOffice. It’s way better and you don’t have to deal with activation issues!
There might be some edge cases where it differs, but I bet it won't affect most people's work.
