Microsoft Access 2024 Professional – Lifetime License Key (Bind Key)

Microsoft Access 2024 Professional (Bind Key): the newest perpetual Access, tied to your account

Microsoft Access 2024 is the current one-time purchase release of the Access desktop database, part of the Office LTSC 2024 generation, sold here as a standalone license. This listing is a Bind Key, which means the license is redeemed once to a Microsoft account and lives there permanently. You install Access from your account page, and if you replace the PC or reinstall Windows, you sign in and download it again instead of hunting for the key. For a database application that a business depends on, that convenience matters.

Access is the tool people reach for when Excel stops being enough. Tables enforce data types and relationships, queries answer questions across thousands of records in a second, forms make data entry safe for staff who never see the underlying tables, and reports present the results in a printable layout. It is also the fastest way many developers know to build a Windows front end over a SQL Server database. Access 2024 keeps that entire toolset and adds the longest support window of any perpetual Access you can buy today.

Is Microsoft Access going away? Not in this release cycle

Every year a search trend asks whether Access is being retired. The facts are straightforward. Microsoft included Access in the Office LTSC 2024 perpetual release, continues to ship it in Microsoft 365, and has published a support end date of October 9, 2029 for this version. That is a longer runway than most business software gets. Buying Access 2024 now means a supported, patched desktop database for the rest of the decade, with no requirement to migrate to a cloud platform on someone else's schedule.

Typical buyers include the owner of a service company whose scheduling and invoicing run on an Access application, the accountant who builds reporting databases for several clients, the school office that tracks equipment and students in Access, and the developer who maintains an Access front end over SQL Server for a mid sized firm. All of them want the newest version, all of them want to pay once, and most of them appreciate not having to look after a product key.

What the Bind Key format changes for you

Most of our Office keys are typed into the application under File, Account, Change Product Key. A Bind Key works differently and, for many buyers, better. You visit setup.office.com, sign in with a Microsoft account, enter the 25-character key once, and Microsoft attaches Access 2024 to that account. From then on the Services and subscriptions page at account.microsoft.com shows the product with an Install button. There is no key to store, no activation wizard to repeat and no confusion about which key belongs to which PC. When the license moves with the account, a hardware upgrade becomes a sign in and a download.

The license remains a single PC license. You install Access 2024 on one Windows computer at a time, and if you retire that computer, you remove Access from it and install on the replacement through the same account page. Use a personal Microsoft account that you control rather than a work account managed by an IT department, so the license stays with you if you change employers.

Key features of Access 2024

• Everything Access users rely on: relational tables, the visual query designer with SQL view, form and report designers, macros and full VBA
• Large Number and Date/Time Extended data types for precise numeric and timestamp storage that maps cleanly to SQL Server
• Linked Table Manager with connectors for SQL Server, Azure SQL, SharePoint, Excel, CSV and ODBC sources, so Access acts as the front end while data lives elsewhere
• Modern charts inside forms and reports, including bar, line, pie, combo and scatter, bound directly to your queries
• Split database architecture for small teams: a shared back end file and a front end per user, with record level locking
• Export to Excel, PDF, XML and text, plus mail merge and Outlook integration for sending reports
• The Office 2024 interface refresh, with rounded visuals and improved accessibility, matching Word and Excel 2024
• Security and stability fixes accumulated since the 2021 release, with updates from Microsoft through October 9, 2029

Access 2024 versus Access 2021 and the suite options

The right Access purchase depends on how long you want updates, whether you need the rest of Office, and how you like to activate. The table sets Microsoft Access 2024 next to its siblings.

There is no Standard or Home edition of Access, so Professional here means the complete application, not a cut down one. If you already own Office 2024 Professional Plus you already have Access 2024 and do not need this key. If you own Office 2024 Home and Business or any Home and Student edition, you do not have Access, and this key adds it.

System requirements

• Windows 11 recommended, or Windows 10 (Windows 10 left support on October 14, 2025, so new installs should target Windows 11)
• 64-bit processor, 1.6 GHz or faster, two or more cores
• 4 GB of RAM or more; 8 GB is comfortable for large recordsets and multiple open objects
• 4 GB of free disk space for the installation
• 1280 x 768 or higher display; a 1920 x 1080 monitor helps with wide datasheets and report design
• Internet connection and a Microsoft account for redemption and download; the application then runs offline
• Access 2024 is Windows only; it will not install on macOS, ChromeOS or Linux

Access 2024 installs as a click-to-run package and must match the bitness of any other Office 2024 or 2021 app on the same PC. Because you download it from your Microsoft account, the installer normally picks the correct build automatically.

Licensing explained

This is a perpetual license. You pay once and the right to run Access 2024 does not expire, does not renew and does not depend on a subscription. It covers one PC. Microsoft attaches the license to the Microsoft account that redeems the Bind Key, which is why we ask you to redeem it yourself rather than have someone do it for you. A license attached to a personal account behaves much like a retail license in day to day use: remove Access from the old computer, install it on the new one from the account page, and carry on. The license type shown in the Product Overview table on this page is the formal classification for this product.

Once the license is attached to your account, the key itself is spent and cannot be redeemed a second time. Keep the account credentials safe and turn on two-step verification, because whoever controls the account controls the software.
