With the release of Office 365, Microsoft Office is now tightly integrated with the Cloud, OneDrive, the Windows Live services etc. As a result of this change, users usually download Office through an online installer. If you want to retain a disk image for Microsoft Office 2013, please read on.
Important Note February 2015
Microsoft has taken down all previous and current download servers (msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net, msft.digitalrivercontent.net, digitalrivercontent.net and drcdn.blob.core.windows.net)! At this point it is unlikely that the downloads will ever come back. However, currently all previously available Office 2013 versions are still available through other official channels.
How to use the downloaded files
The Office 2013 Professional Plus as well as Project and Visio downloads require a retail product key. They can also be activated for a 60 days' trial period with a trial key that is available from Microsoft free of charge. These are the full standalone (offline) installers that don't have to download the entire application from the internet when being installed.
The Home & Student, Home & Business and Professional backup images are merely offline installers of the click-to-run applications that would otherwise be streamed to your computer from the Microsoft website. Without retail product key, they're useless.
The language packs can be downloaded, installed and used free of charge. They don't require an additional product key. They need an Office 2013 (or Visio 2013 or Project 2013) base installation, and add localisation like spell checks and translated user interfaces to your Office product.
Office 2013 Professional Plus
Office 2013 as well as Visio 2013 and Project 2013 are available as a free 60 days' trial version. You will need a Windows Live ID to get your trial keys from Technet.
After downloading the trial, it is easy to activate it permanently with a valid product key.
Purchase Office 2013
With the new 2013 version, Microsoft Office brings some considerable changes. Whereas it was possible to install Office up to three computers before (depending on the edition), a license is now bound to a single computer only. Microsoft is driving the subscription model here, and restricts flexibility of the standalone editions to a minimum. I'd personally recommend to purchase Office 2010 instead, because of these licensing restrictions. Should you want to go for the new Office anyway, here are the links to Amazon:
- Office 2013 Home and Student
- Office 2013 Home and Business
- Office 2013 Professional
- Project 2013 Professional
- Visio 2013 Professional
What are x86 and x64 editions?
Running the x64 (64 bit) edition also requires an x64 Windows edition. The advantage of Office x64 is a bit better performance. Disadvantage is that it doesn't support most third party plugins and add-ons. Microsoft actually discourages the use of the x64 editions. So unless you're absolutely sure you need an x64 edition, you should choose x86 (32 bit).
Download Office 2013 Backup Images from Microsoft
The following links point to the official download server officecdn.microsoft.com. Instead of ISO they come as IMG images. These files are pure backup media, and can't be installed without a retail product key.
The IMG images are not the same as the "Single Image" downloads that used to be available from Digital River, but offline versions of the streaming "Click-to-Run" version, with all disadvantages associated with that.
Former direct download links, only for reference
The following table is provided for reference only, and includes the file names of the downloads that were available from Digital River, so that you know which file name is which Office version, in case you find some of the files from an alternative download source. The downloads in this table are no longer working.
When you look for unauthorized downloads, you can also leverage the information on the MSDN Download Center for assistance. Download is not possible without subscription, but you will find more file names to look for, as well as ISO/CRC check sums to verify the integrity of any downloads.
