it's a 3rd party seller called "Topfastkeys"... these keys are definitely bootleg.

these are usually stolen keys generated through a company's corporate license. if a large company prepays for, say, a block of 1500 licenses for their employees, the price per key is really really cheap. so some sleazy IT employees will "issue" 50-100 of those keys to themselves (steal them) and then sell the keys to off-shore resellers like "Topfastkeys" who then sell the stolen keys to you

it's unlikely that the company will ever find out as a few stolen keys is a rounding error for these big fortune 500 companies and they likely won't deactivate your key even is MS finds out... but that's why there's a "warranty" because if/when they do find out, all unactivated keys in the block will get wiped.

...A couple of things to consider:

1. Bootleg keys- if they do work (and they usually do) might eventually get de-activated.
2. "Lifetime" key, to my understanding, is for the lifetime of the device on which the key is originally assigned. To re-assign a key to another device usually requires a call to Microsoft. At least that's what has happened in the past- I've been retired for a while and things may be different now.
3. Microsoft has an online version of Office that'sfree [microsoft.com]
4. There's also Libre Office [libreoffice.org] , Which has always been free. With a few setting changes, it will function just like MS Office- Saving files with the same MS extensions (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)

I wouldn't count on these lasting very long. I bought keys from a similar deal, also from a seller that appeared to be reputable, only to have MS deactivate them after a few months.

I imagine updates are updates specific to the 2021 version and not updates into new versions like the question you responded to is asking. Meaning you'll probably get updates for your 2021 version in 2022, but you won't get the Microsoft Office 2022 version with this key.

Says coupons not good for this product (so email signup 10% off might not work), but...

Buy $50 store credit for $40 https://stacksocial.com/sales/50-...dit-for-25

for 20% off

you can buy codes from other sites for $25 (or less), always a gamble in any case.

The issue with these Office deals is not the use of the software but the use of OneDrive that comes with it. Your account will be with some third-party source, be it an educational firm or company firm which means any documents you have may save in that OneDrive account and if they pull the plug you lose everything not to mention anything you save in there may not be exactly confidential. So if you go with this type of deal make sure you save your documents in your local drive.

On the Dec 2021 post for office home and student for under $20 SD. In the SD post comments, a lot of people stated that they saw it show up on their Microsoft account so that made them feel it was legit. So has anyone bought this and it shows up on there MS acct?

Shows up in my MS account. I actually used a link through Engadget so that, at least if the license gets pulled, there's more accountability about people who can be held liable for selling a potentially stolen product.
