Any experience with this website?  Is it really legit software? Tempting price but I'm quite suspicious ...

Also remember you can sign up LEGIT for MICROSOFT 365 FREE account and get Office in your browser FOR FREE .. useable from anywhere online on any system/tablet/phone and uses OneDrive cloud storage for files BUT you can download these files from there to local system if you want.

So this is Word, Excel, Powerpoint in your browser ( these apps are not installed on your local system but have associated apps on your phone/tablet )

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.

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.

Searching for "Office Professional Plus 2021" brings up a lot of sites with cheap serials, some even cheaper than $29.99.

I don't know. Something feels off here.

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.

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.

OpenOffice is just as good as the Microsoft suite and it's free:

Yes LibreOffice for basic needs is fantastic.

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.

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.

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.

Found the same type fro windows 10 , any advise on that ?

[Yan Filiatrault 1,635]

Way cheaper price here. Company seems legit, they are buying unused licenses from third party sellers in bulk. Reviews online about this company seems to make this purchase legit:
