Just ordered off SoftKeyWorld: 35% Off Orders Of $29.25 Or More: MEP1
Its for a laptop
I am no longer eligible for MS HUP program. BTW: read the fine print. you should be deleting it off your PC if you leave the job you qualified for it. FYI.
Not a fan of WebOffice - no MSAccess and you need an internet connection active and not happy MS discontinued their free app viewers in favor of web office.
Not a fan of 365. Again, not great for laptops.
I hate Googe apps after trying to work with them for 1 1/2 years at my last job (I did like the simultaneous user access/update though)
Not a fan of libreoffice either.

No exact idea because the algorithm isn't revealed by Microsoft.

But it's an easy call to get that license reactivated on your PC - simply explain you had to replace a part that broke.

...

I simply VIRTUALIZE Office (and Windows) to eliminate this.

Virtual any App and your can stick it in a usb drive and run Your apps in any PC without installing regardless of how many parts you change.

Vmware.com and Turbo.net can do this.

...

Very convenient when virtualization an entire OS.
E.g. I have an entire install of windows 10, totally clean, + tax software for years virtualized.
Done with taxes? Archive that image unhook next year and you know it's clean and ready for the next year's tax software. And years of tax docs and such don't get lost because it's all kept in one virtual pc image.
Indeed, or you can Turn your local hard drive into a VHD, have a back up, and will always be there if your physical drive ever dies. There is also cloning, P2V, they are all essentially the same thing. You take a snapshot of your hard drive in its current status, then once an image is made, you can then back up you virtualized/cloned hard drive image and use it on several different virtual viewers VMWare Viewer, vhd player, Virtual box etc), or full-blown virtualization solutions (VMware, Citrix, etc) the choice is yours.

A snapshot takes an exact image of your drive including all software, documents,folders, etc the key is going to be making sure you have everything installed that you wanted prior, cleaning up the hard drive of junk, running antivirus/malware scans, windows /software updates, etc it will save you a lot of headache.

Or, do a fresh image and transfer data the over from the live image, cloud, local usb/physical storage. Point is, you have options.

Guess I'll jump on this for my gf. As for me I got windows 10 pro and office 2019 for $10 each with hup program, plus access to office 365 enterprise through work plus 365 student for school. I'm always having to log out and log back on as I stop working and start homework and vice versa. Kinda silly. But this $50 version for the gf on her new envy should work out just fine.

I mean the words we're using in this conversation, theft, piracy etc, have legal definitions and are crimes. You and the guy I responded to are using them without really proving that they've taken place.
The price is the proof. Also notice how they are selling the professional edition, but show an image of home and business. Softkeyworld is a known reseller of black and gray market keys. Better off buying the same thing for cheaper on ebay.

Thanks - was actually just notified that my company's HUP license will no longer let me use 365 on my personal computer starting next month, so I needed to buy a license anyway - and this is cheaper than the discount we were being offered.

Bought the version for Mac and this is indeed the Retail version because it shows up in the "My Service and Subscription" page in my Microsoft Account after inputting the Key provided by Popular Science. Since it's the Retail version, you will be able to install it again on another computer if you get a new computer (you'd just have to deactivate it on your old machine).

All of the cheap licenses you buy off of eBay for ~$20 for instance, it doesn't get added to your MS Account after activating the key (as those are non-Retail versions and a ONE-time install).

I think this is like buying only 1 use / install from volume license, which mean you won't be able to get verified for second time... I previous did few purchases for work and was told by microsoft customer suport

stolen license codes

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.

this looks like a Cloud solution . . .
