I bought the AAS synth bundle from them three years ago, had no problems with that. But I agree that MS Office Pro 90% off seems suspicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 29.99$ on same site. Microsoft accepted the serial number. They call it "Office Professional Plus 2021" Downloading as I speak... I can't say anything about the security aspects of what I just did, but a great upgrade for my Office Pro 2010. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fret_man Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I was told these sites buy overstocked package deals for dirt cheap. That's why they can be sold so cheaply. I bought the 2020 version for $10 and the serial number was legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluto Gabo Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) I purchased this (albeit at the more expensive $39.99 price) through Stacksocial because I too had purchased the AAS bundle from them. Some people had duplicates of the sound packs and were contacting AAS to see if they could swap them. AAS knew about the Stacksocial sale and was indeed very generous in allowing people to swap some of the sound packs. That's the one reason I trusted Stacksocial. You can also pay by Paypal, so you have that level of protection. However, some personal information, i.e. name and address, is obtained by the vendor when using Paypal (info fields are auto-populated in vendor order window). But that's pretty standard for any vendor and not enough information for fraudsters. You are provided a license key that you input on the Microsoft website to complete the download. It was very easy. Now the Reddit forum above raises questions about the legitimacy of these keys but I have no insight into that. It just works for now.

TerraSin Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm on 365 mostly for the cloud storage. I heard there are ways to get it cheaper by waiting for 1yr codes on Amazon to go on sale but eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they can be sold so cheaply. I bought the 2020 version for $10 and the serial number was legit. If you purchase a Visual Studio Subscription (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/#software-and-downloads?cat=visual-studio-enterprise-subscription-with-github-enterprise) you can get multiple license keys for development/test purpose, for Windows, Office, etc. (it's not exactly the Microsoft version of an "All Bundle" but it has some resemblances) The words in the license agreement don't allow for resale and don't allow for purposes other than developing/testing applications, but these dev/test keys work the same as a normal key. There are sites that ignore the written license agreement and make money from un-bundling and re-selling the keys. For anyone at risk of an audit (typically large- or medium-size companies, and smaller companies being acquired by a larger one) it can be a really bad idea getting these "dev/test keys" and using them for production purposes. For individual consumers the risk of an audit is lower (but not zero, and Microsoft has the capability for blocking ranges of keys, although I haven't heard it being applied to dev/test keys, only to stolen keys). Please note that I am not accusing stacksocial, maybe these are legitimate licenses, I'm just explaining how there is a "gray market" of sites that sell cheap license keys that work fine when you use them.

Tezza Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Lionel said: And LibreOffice That's what i use exclusively now, it's a lot easier to use than microsoft equivalent and it works on mac, linux and windows. The native files are interchangable regardless of operating system. I've got office but just don't use it anymore. On the organizations I am active with, we have rolled it out. It's free, everyone can use it and interchange files regardless of operating system. Apparently, it's also available for android and ios now as well. It's also faster to load and use than Microsoft Office, I think it's the best of the open source alternatives.
