It's free to do, I think at one point it was $30 but now it's free, so long as you're updated to the most recent version. It's worth a shot if it's not in your means yet to switch over to a foss alterative.

Free
Doesn't require giving MS your data by signing into a Microshit online account on your local computer
Good for 3 years (potentially more as they activate for more but at this point we don't know if MS will extend the program beyond 3 years)

If you already use a Microsoft account and are fine with signing into that on your local computer then for this year it doesn't really matter I suppose but this way you can just take care of it and not think of it again in a year.
