    From a cursory glance online, I think YOU CAN technically run a family plan with friends or other boards.ie members, lol.
    However, while it might work from a practical standpoint, I imagine it might run afoul of M$ terms and conditions and be somewhat legally questionable.

    It's probably highly unlikely that M$ would crack down on it but just because we can do it, doesn't necessarily mean we should. :p
    You are obviously a better person than me, I will grab the bargain if it's available. MS are making quite enough from us already,

    Can anyone confirm that the OP one is 'the old fashioned one' that thios old middle aged person wants?

    I’m the OP and yes it’s the basic old fashioned stored on your computer one. Working good for me thus far.

    it won't be keys.. each user will need to give you an email address that you can add to your account. Once you do that they can install Office from the office.com site and sign-in/register using the email they gave you

    Cheers Kaiser - just seems such a waste paying for 6 and having them spare, so might as well spread the cost among bargain alert users.

    At the minute I've a Disney plus family on boards.
    Netflix family.
    Spotify.


    Now windows office.

    Still two slots left by the way.:D

    Windows version only I believe.
    They do have other MAC suites on the site but they would be considerably more expensive. :cool:

    Have picked up the copy in from Argos, and will be sending payment requests to the PM's I've received already.

    One spot left.

    Anyone want office 365 and 1TB storage for a tenner?

    Pm me.

    Recently bought Microsoft office home and student 2019 for €23. I did a lot of looking before buying this, and installed it and it worked perfect. Only good for one computer though. I’m far from a computer buff so decide for yourself how good of a bargain it is.

    https://www.digitallicense.nl/microsoft-office-2019-home-and-student/?___store=ie&___from_store=default&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyJn5BRDrARIsADZ9ykFGCzTXHB4HHNZmrHCxDjvf6LJmDNOONZojvEpMoJGuWmmjmzL5g6oaAvy9EALw_wcB

    Now on sale at €17.90.
    or if you really want to save the pennies, it comes to €16.53 if you pay by Norwegian krone. :P

    Thanks, was on my list to do. Used a virtual revolut card to pay for security.

    Just checked my email and got this "Office 2019 Home and student is currently out of stock and we are therefore sending a product key for Office 2019 Professional Plus for the same amount " Winner!

    Not necessarily. Pro Plus isn't intended for retail sale but rather sold to businesses and education through volume license agreements

    In other words, the key they are sending you COULD be deactivated by MSFT at any point (may not happen, but it's possible) as they're not supposed to be sold on.

    I've bought a few Windows 10 licenses and a couple of Office licenses off them, all work perfectly. Had to activate the Office installations by "phone" but otherwise no issues.
