Stacksocial has a lifetime license for MS Office Professional for Widows or Mac for $50.00
https://stacksocial.com/sales/mic...or-windows
I personally would not buy an annual license to any software. If any software I buy a permanent license for eventually becomes outdated for my purposes, then I will buy another permanent license of a more recent version. But I understand that some people (who must do some really high powered word processing ) feel they need their Office software improved every year. For those people this seems to be an incredible deal. As far as I know Stacksocial is legitimate and in any case too high profile to post a sketchy deal. So I believe this to be a real license. I do note that the actual seller is a company known as Topfastkeys. They supposedly have a Trustpilot rating of 4.2 out of 5 for what that is worth. But again Stacksocial is a high profile site that likely gets regularly monitored by IP lawyers and MS.

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.
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.)
