Unofficial Office Sellers Reliable?

I was googling about upgrading my versions of Office in 2 computers (not wanting Office 365). Google sponsored ads include the following. What are others' experiences of any of these?

Or is this Office365 offer really for 5 years and multiple computers?

My desktop Win7 has Office 2010. My Win10 laptop is just being set up again after a crash. I have a disc and product key for Office University 2010 to use, and then upgrade, or I could do a clean install.

  • check if your work gets discounted Office, my company gets it for $15

    • Thanks. Not working, so no such possibility.

      • If you know anyone that works at Telstra, they can get it for $15. I would buy it for you but I've already purchased it

  • "The license is a business license which forms part of an academic license." In other words, not legitimate.

  • Long answer:

    You will find the same method of selling on eBay and most of the time for much less than what you have found. Interestingly all these cheap email only license sellers would sell only one version: Office 2016 Pro Plus. The reason is that they are selling business/academic or MSDN licenses and the same license is sold to multiple unsuspecting buyers. During its lifetime it will work and update like any other legitimately obtained and activated office install but with two main caveats: After receiving the license key you should install straightaway and don't sit on it for weeks as by then the code would most definitely have been blacklisted by MS. Second is you would never be able to reactivate Office at a later time after a reinstall using the same code and this also due to the same reason - It would be blacklisted by then.

    Short answer: It will install and activate but not legit. Whether you want to go ahead with the purchase or not is up to you!
