Microsoft Office 365 Home

SachaJ · 25-11-2017 9:43am #1

While not the cheapest prices I’ve ever seen, MS Office 365 Home edition (5 PCs/Macs, 1 year) is reduced in a few places.

Argos.ie - €57.99 with McAfee
Amazon.de - €48.99 (activation code by email), €52 (by post including postage)
Amazon.fr - €49.99 (activation code by email)

Thanks for that, I have one ordered for collection in Argos.

These are 1-year licences... yes???

Will these prices hold in year 2+++

Also... if giving free Cloud access...what happens your file if you fail to renew???

Amazon Germany tell me it's not available in Ireland, and try to direct me to the UK store. Any way around this?

Waste of €5 tbh, would have been better to just download it for free. Those Professional Plus keys will eventually get blocked.

Anyone know if you can stack these licenses?

Yes

On Amazon UK now for £49.99. Works out at around €57 so not really any cheaper than Argos.

This is an Amazon deal of the day today at £52.99, but it says its uk only. Is that correct or can the downloaded code be used in Ireland?

rgodard80a · 23-01-2018 10:33pm

www . software4students . ie sells discounted Microsoft/other software.

I see a 4 year Microsoft Office University license for €79.
Many, many years ago I bought Windows 7 licenses from them.
Just put in a random secondary school at the time.

Just in case you can't stack the 5 1 year licenses.

You can buy this also using your unused Three credits from buygamecredit.com. 69 euro for a 365 personal.

Change your default address to a UK one and buy it. It's how I did it before.

If your employer has a lot of office licences they may be part of a scheme where you can buy it for 13.99

Ebay is the way to go IMO... now on my 3rd year of renewals. Always get deals for below 25€/yr. Bought 2 x 1yr codes last time and they do stack (got 2 years before expiry). I do it just for the 1TB OneDrive cloud space, cheapest you can find and no file size limit (can upload a blu-ray movie if u want)

have been using this for years and its brilliant... but yeah, a member of the family needs to be working for a multinational to get it.

This only offers Office 2016 to me ... does it sometimes offer Office 365 too? It's the One Drive space more than anything I'd be interested in!

I think it recognises if you are eligible from your work email address that you enter. It didn't ask me for a code.

I had to get a code from either IT or HR (can't remember which)

Amazon DOD again @ £53

Sup08 · 17-02-2018 12:38am

If I get the Amazon UK code does this kick in and stop my monthly sub.

Well, accidently purchased a 1 year sub on Amazon UK and clicked the link in the email. Once I logged into my account the sub was updated to expire next year after my current month.

Happy days, thanks OP.
£52.99 is still much better than the €120 a year I was paying and the €99 annual sub.

SachaJ · 17-12-2018 10:19am

Deal of the Day on Amazon UK today. £49.99 which was the same during the Black Friday sale when I renewed mine.

They also increased the user number earlier this year to 6 users (yourself + 5).

Don't apply the code until your current sub expires.
I have a few months left on my current sub and when I applied the code on Black Friday it was expiring on only 12 months. The codes are not stackable on top of a current sub.
I was on to Microsoft to confirm this and was told to wait until the current codes expires and apply it then. The code itself does not expires until it's used.
