Microsoft office home and student 2019 €23

justshane · 02-08-2020 10:51pm #1

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.

How does this differ from office 365?

Once off Vs monthly payment. The 365 has a chance of actually being genuine

It excludes outlook and 1 drive
Use in one computer for non commercial purposes

It’s a one off fee so if genuine one off buy out fee is quite a good deal

Google it and see the list of what it has

There was a bargain alert the other day for 365 family for something like €50, I get that it's a family account, so therefore multiple machines can use, but does this offer come with the 1TB of storage etc, and all the other programs is basically what I'm asking?

My parents got a new laptop recently, and I have volunteered to sort them out with office. I'm thinking this deal might be perfect for them.

Edit - pretty much answered above by worded.

If outlook and the 1tb of storage isn't that important, I'm guessing this is a no brainer?

No, one drive is not included. You'd get Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Note sure about note, probably yes.

It would be a no brained if it was from a reputable source. I wouldn't...

Prob perfect for your folks

Older ppl can’t comprehend cloud so it’s simpler to save locally

20 euro excellent price and they have trust pilot it looks genuine

Office 365 only seems to give you 2016 anyway. You do get multiple devices and Onedrive storage though.

McMurphy · 03-08-2020 11:59am

I think I'll take the plunge and then upgrade to a 365 package with online storage when it comes on offer again.

Assuming that this is possible?

Will get my dad (who fancies himself as a bit of a freelance sports journalist) started anyway.

Doodah7 · 03-08-2020 12:17pm

Don’t think the standalone version gets feature upgrades between releases unlike the Office 365 edition.

What you buy is what you get.

Well, you might have known a lot about download office 2019 64 bit within your computer. We have got a few features of this particular Office home and business 2019 download which will mention a lot about the same for sure. To provide more such details here we have mentioned a few more details which state the software’s features particularly.

Unbelievably legit download.

rom · 06-08-2020 8:40am

Reading about this it seems they are MSDN licenses that they are selling on which they shouldn't. If MS detect misuse they will block all as they should only be used for dev.

If we can ignore the less that stellar descriptions, lol, they are actually legit MS downloads of the office suites.

What someone does with them afterwards is where things might get a little iffy.

I could be mistaken but I thought this version that the OP has flagged is such a thing?

machiavellianme · 06-08-2020 4:50pm

Yes, it's a once off purchase that includes the three programs mentioned with no frills like cloud etc.

Exactly this.

It's the same as the similar offer last week. The sellers are reselling volume/enterprise/MSDN licenses - none of which are intended for retail or your average punter. These licenses are sold to businesses, education, and developers and under a completely different agreement.

They will work but they could be deactivated at any time. You'll have no support or comeback and I'm not sure (given how connected MSFT apps are nowadays) I'd want to be associating my personal details with someone's dodgy license antics.

The only way to get Office legitimately as a retail consumer is...

- From a reseller like Argos or Amazon
- The office.com website. O365 Family is great value to be honest

All these licenses for a tenner or 20 or whatever are not above board. The same applies to similar pricing for Windows licenses. Think about it - the full version of these products cost well over a hundred or more.

McMurphy · 07-08-2020 11:10am

Excuse my ignorance in the workings of shared MS family account, but what's to stop a boards "family account" happening, much the same as Netflix etc?

I have a family package reserved in Argos, but I'm going to be putting it on my folks, I'll take a slot for the 1tb storage, but there's a few slots left over.

If you can do that, how much would a slot cost one???

If it's possible, (and I will await input from folk with more knowledge on it than I have ) I was thinking a tenner a slot.

That way if it's possible, we all get a years sub for a tenner each.

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.

podgeandrodge · 07-08-2020 2:23pm

There's also LibreOffice etc. which is completely free which are pretty much the same thing for a lot of people, with simple option to save as microsoft file format etc.

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,

august12 · 07-08-2020 2:25pm

Out of curiosity, how many slots come with this??

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

I'm ok with that.

6 in total, so I've 4 going spare - first four PM's will get a slot @ €10 each.

Just to note mines hasn't arrived into Argos but when it gets there (prob tomorrow) I'll send on keys.

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

McMurphy · 08-08-2020 9:48am

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:

McMurphy · 08-08-2020 12:20pm

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.

bought and installed with no issues

Caranica · 11-11-2020 2:45pm

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.
