MICROSOFT OFFICE 2016 PRO PROFESSIONAL PLUS CD-KEY (1 PC) US $29.99/ AU $40.28
Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus Free Download. Download link: setup.office.com would let you download MS Office 16 just in a single click. Setup is for both 32 bit and 64 bit.
Are these also compatible for multiple devices? I can't see whether they say they are or not.
They are hacked/stolen MAKs so there's no limit to the activations on any of these dodgy licenses. Even worse than buying one of these is falling for paying more for a "5 pack"
Edit - for those unaware - MAK = multiple activation key. This is what you see on a Volume License Portal when you buy Pro Plus legitimately. There is no such thing as a Pro Plus single key to sell
Nah I can confirm that the first listing (18.99$) is not. I purchased one and it's an OEM key!
@jnewau: well not sure what's happening cause I did contact microsoft and they confirmed it was pro plus OEM…
@jnewau: regardless to what others are saying, being an OEM Microsoft system builder, I'm with you 100%. In Australia at least Office Pro Plus IS NOT OEM. I have a 10 license version with our MAPS subscription. Whatever the name of it, it is actually never meant to be sold on like this.
This is about as dodgy as it comes but each to their own.
@Ramrunner: How can an OEM version be dodgey? The argument is fine for the Vol Licencing, which is hard not to see as straight theft. Being able to buy an OEM version cannot be compared. It is a single version meant for it's use. What you seem to have a problem with is simply the price. At least, in Australia(I know the software is from elsewhere), we can buy and sell anything as long as it is not counterfeit. What Microsoft try to bully with EULA's, is not recognised in this country.
@Major Mess: OEM is originally designed solely for system builder to license on to a PC. the license is meant to live and die on that PC.
BUT I never said I had a problem with OEM software or it's price you're putting words in my mouth.
I said Office Pro Plus is NOT available as OEM, thus what is being advertised as such IS NOT thus it's dodgy.
If you buy it like that YOU seem to call it legal but the fact is you are NOT licensed correctly, so NOT legally.
OEM = legal, VL used on individual PC = NOT legal.
Tell yourself whatever you like, buy whatever you like, I don't really care. Just stating facts mate. I'm forced to attend at least two events a year about M$ licensing.
No I do not believe Microsoft will do anything about it so go for your life, but please don't dispute what I've said, or put words in my mouth for some weird reason.
Sign up for the University of Tasmania program for a free edu email (which can get you Office 2016 and updates for 3 devices) and free fitbit! No deal
how you do this?
Thanks
the difference is your ebay link gives you 4 more devices and his costs you 7 dollars more?
unless you can't read lol
Hahaha

AU$35.99 and even that's not the cheapest.
Personally I'd recommend the HUP program with a Live account ;)
Pity there doesn't seem to be a way to make a new @live.com.au account :(
There's ways… At least there was ~6 months ago when I did it
Any chance you can pm me how to do so, for scientific research purposes of course :)
I would like to know how as well :)
WTF, that actually works! Can you use this anywhere to get win10pro? (wishful thinking!)
Dammit! I just had to upgraded to a 5 device licence recently too because, even though Microsoft office says a 2-in-1 laptop can use a tablet licence instead of a PC licence, it still took a PC licence and they can't change it.
Yeah.. that seller looks legit for sure.
$4.16 I just bought this one ( now thinking is it genuine? )
I bought one also. Will let you know!
Works fine, just downloaded 2.4Gb and installed, key worked.
Key works, and it is indeed for Office 2016 Pro Plus. I didn't actually download the 2.3Gb file from Google Drive. I went though http://setup.office.com/ and installed it that way (though that only gives you the x86 or 32-bit version… which is what I prefer anyway to keep compatibility with older versions of Office).
I later downloaded the iso… that has both the x86 and x64 versions.
Thanks!
I received email from ebay, they have deleted seller user account, they ask me not to pay, but i did paid and received key, what should i do now….
Why would you up vote?
Great deal
Clearly not, as outlined above
No payment fee
I doubt very much that anyone would buy from you if you charged them for the privilege of being a customer.
Another day, another shitty attempt at a MS CD key deal. NEXT!
Sigh..why do mods continue to allow these deals.
Their reasoning they use for allowing OEM sales can't be used here
Pro plus is ONLY available via volume licensing
There's simply no way this can be legit. It isn't possible to buy keys for pro plus
Are you certain thats true? I read the European Union Court has kyboshed MS hold on licences as once sold, they belong to the new owner not MS.
Edit: Had to check which link I read it in… was roguewolfs link… http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Microsoft-Office-Professional-Plu…
Im aware they are selling them so they would say that. But its the kind of the thing the Euro Union does different to the US so could be legit.
http://www.computerworld.com/article/2505356/it-management/e…
Well, firstly, they say they are in Hong Kong, not the EU, so the EU ruling is hardly relevant anyway.
Secondly, even a cursory glance of that article puts paid to that
"In a small victory for oracle, the ECJ ruling prevents resellers from breaking up a license and selling only part of it if they have purchased licenses for more users than they need"
Let me say again - there is NO SUCH THING as an Office Pro PLUS key that you can buy (or even resell if such a thing existed) . It is only ever legitimately sold as part of Volume Licensing. You cannot buy a key for Pro Plus as a once off because such a thing doesn't exist! When you buy Pro Plus under Volume Licensing you are given a MAK unique to your organization which works whether you buy 10 or 100 licenses.
A legit license costs over $600, to think that all these sellers are somehow finding old licenses for selling them for $40? How ridiculous does that sound? Are there somehow thousands of organization selling off their office 2016 Volume License products to the second hand market to somehow supply all these stores and Ebay sellers? I think not
The stupid thing about all these dodgy license is that you are literally paying for pirated software
if you are going to pirate software, isn't the point that you dont pay anything for it? Just bloody well torrent it, while you're still ripping off MS, at least you're not giving money to crooks
You read into things what suits you, not what is actually said. That small win for Oracle, means I can sell a licence for say 5 pcs, to one person. What I cant do is sell off 2 pc licences and keep 3 for myself (assuming 5). But I can sell all 5. That is, if you purchased X amount, you cant break it up to sell it in bits. How a MAK key operates legally in Europe as a result may be different. Even using your limit on the volume licencing, if I have 100 pcs operating off it, I can still sell that legit key to one person. The error in the offerings on say ebay would be the new owner can also use it on 100 machines (or whatever number the original MS customer had paid for from MS).
The ruling says, whatever version is purchased from MS, is the new owners property to do with as they please and MS can not interfere with that including refusing to allow downloads. This is achieved By saying MS loses any rights to restrict ownership of the licence once sold. In a sense, here and in the US, courts have sided with MS and suggested software is rented for life by the original licencee. Europe says no, its purchased and owned.
Im not saying these sellers are legit, only that its possible. But if they are selling old keys no longer used by the EU prurchaser, I see no reason not to buy one if you want. Its not pirated in that case, its genuine. Im not certain what companies are selling off to suit new systems. But I dont find unbelievable on a continent where on selling your software is legal, there might be at certain times, plenty about. Again, not speaking for the OP, or the other links. Just the concept.
Isn't the version from Microsoft HUP Office Pro Plus? Or don't you get a key with that?
http://www.libreoffice.org
free.
open source file formats. No single vendor lock-in. No activation nonsense. Not made by a filthy NSA collaborator. No shonky keys.
$0.00. Probably good enough for the majority of the population.
Note to self: Open source & free…apparently not good enough. Shonky keys, non-free, closed-source, corporate bully & NSA partner = good.
I get screen tearing when I have libre office word open, I'm all for open source development but some of the stuff that's pushed is a pos….imo, all the libre crowd are the same. Used Unix based systems 20 years that is the same too. Could be great code, great idea, absolutely awful UI and that's pretty much guaranteed with all of it. Libre office included with its shonky performance
So many pros and cons for both products. None of them best in every area. I don't find any major issues with the UI. Startup time…yes. UI…no.
Besides from looking dodgy itself, people should also check with their work or if they have a mate that can get Office via HUP for just $15. Sure it may be a different version, but completely local/legit, no risk of dodgy eBay sellers, or relying on certain law rulings, etc.
Will work but not a legitimate license usage so might as well get the $5 one
