MS Office Suite - Lifetime license mac or windows: $54.99

atahuapla · 28-11-2022 09:58AM #1

Seems like a pretty good deal -- lifetime licence for MS Office, includes Outlook, PPT, Excel, Word, Teams and OneNote : Windows & Mac.

Only thing I can't figure out is whether you're allowed transfer devices in future...

Is that a genuine site?

Hmm, I am aware of the Entrepreneur magazine which seems to be the same site but their reviews don't particularly give confidence in their store. Will ask mod to remove this in case it's not legit.

Seve OB · 28-11-2022 10:14AM

I’m not saying it’s not, just curious before I pull trigger.

to answer your question though, and if it is genuine, I doubt very much it would transfer

Microsoft don't sell "lifetime" licenses for office.

Bought this deal on Friday:

I tried to buy this on Stacksocial last month but the transaction got cancelled. Money went out initially but was refunded back to my account.

Has your transaction completed? Have you received it?

"lifetime" is the marketing lingo for this software version. So you purchase office 2021 and you can use it forever. You will not be able to use the next version be that 2022 or 2023...

entrepreneur . com is Stacksocial. Your login detail from Stacksocial with work. Same site. Stacksocial has a number of the same sites just a different names. 4 or 5 sites last time I checked.

How did you get on?

I’ve a new mac book landing later in the week and need this.

$30 seems way to good to be true

whomitconcerns · 28-11-2022 06:22PM

They are OEM licences. Technically not valid but also technically valid....

You are meant to be bundling them with a computer you are selling. You don't get direct support on them, and they can only be installed on a single device once.

Ms definitely frowns on them being used in this way but hadn't tried to do anything about them in years, as there's nothing they really can do.

Nice one. Just got that for a smidge under €38. Seems to have worked fine. Having an up to date Excel will save me some hassle.

It's a sad farewell to my very old friend Excel 2003.

Thanks for posting.

It's called "perpetual," where you have a license instead of a subscription.

Seve OB · 29-11-2022 11:17AM

it was $29.99 yesterday. said offer valid for the next 5 days. I didn't pull trigger cause I'm waiting on laptop to arrive (due today or tomorrow)

Anyway, price gone back up to $39.99 now. typical ☹️

still a good deal i guess, is there any better out there?

whomitconcerns · 29-11-2022 11:27AM

You can get them for as little as a tenner if you keep looking

The different with those ones are you are buying unauthorized access to a large company/school/college collection.

You can’t use your own email and run the risk of removal at any time.

Safer to get in on a family package on boards or buy from here which is a lifetime license for the “older” package.

forgive my ignorance, are you saying those are the 365 version where it's a sub?

personally, I don't want a sub, I won't use it enough on my home laptop so would rather a older package.

found this one here for €21.49, but it's not for mac, might be of use to someone

whomitconcerns · 29-11-2022 01:20PM

That's not necessarily true. Some of the cheapest may be volume licence keys, which is what you refer to. But the vast majority are OEM. My £7 example is a bad comparison. 20£ should get youan OEM copy though

For clarity, as the poster said, using volume licence keys is not allowed and they can get blocked.

Oem you legitimately own and can use your own details. Not your fault you couldn't sell the pc you built and then decided to keep it as your own. 🤣🤣🤣

Seve OB · 29-11-2022 03:10PM

ok, so are these ones on stacksocial OEM or Volume Licence keys?

How can one tell?

Gumbo · 29-11-2022 03:16PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119935106#Comment_119935106

So totally different to your original post. Glad you’ve cleared that up alright.

the £20 stg ones would be similar to the OP’s $29 US version and considerably safer.

Stacksocial are ok. They are “older” license keys. One good clue is that they don’t come with one drive.

If your on a volume key with one drive and the parent owner somewhere else in the world shuts you down, you loose your onedrive contents.

Hi Gumbo, do you know if this one is legit / good? It doesn't say if it is a volume or OEM license.

Im not an expert but my interpretation is that it’s legit. Based on :

Its the 2021 version.

No onedrive which is key for the scams.
