Buyer beware, these are not legitimate keys, and can be deactivated anytime. You will be out $30 when that happens. Also keep an eye on your credit card statement as people have complained about fraud after dealing with the seller (gamestop is not the seller, a foreign 3rd party is)

You can easily check if these are retail keys after installing and activating. Microsoft gives you the instructions on how to do this here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us...cense-type

Here below is a cut-and-paste from the terminal window of what someone get with a key from this deal. (The ID fields sanitized to protect my own license, of course). Some people are getting MSDN subscription Retail version of MS Office 2021 ProProfessional.

MSDN subscription keys are NOT supposed to be resell and should ONLY be use by the single MSDN subscriber.

See all the dozens of other posts promoting this grey market license key junk
Can this be installed on multiple machines, or is it a lifetime license for the machine it's installed on?

EDIT: Just reread the post and answered my own question:

"One-time purchase installed on 1 Windows PC for use at home or work"
It isn't GameStop. It's GameSpot. So, you're not buying from a retailer.

Quote from geo2209 :
wtf are you going on about with these imaginary scenarios? They are legit keys, period. This is same argument that clowns make regarding cdkeys or eneba for Steam games. The manufacturer dumps legit keys off to 3rd party sites for quick sales. This is the same process. And Gamespot is 100% legit and owned by CBS, look it up. Just because you've never heard of them doesn't mean they aren't one of the top sites for video game reviews (or at least used to be when I was growing up).
> They are legit keys, period.

This is false.

> The manufacturer dumps legit keys off to 3rd party sites for quick sales.

This is also false.

Can anyone who bought the windows version of Office Pro 2021 from this Gamespot (Stack Social) promo run this command and tell us what kind of result you get? Retail vs Volume licensing.

Google docs should do the same too. Haven't found a good replacement for OneNote though.
OneNote is still free. There is no great alternative :-(

This is a legit deal. No clue why ppl are saying it's grey market. It's GAMESTOP DEALS for crying out loud. I bought two (one for me and one for my wife) and they activated fine with our Microsoft accounts. Don't listen to the BS.
You MIGHT want to read the name of the vendor again if you think this is GameSTOP. ugh...

This is ongoing. As posted a month ago - Yet another StackSocial Skin... Stacksocial.com/ Gamespot.com / and deals.androidauthority.com under TechDeals - all same look, same low price & checkout options. The Deal Date, suggesting "only 2 days" remaining - is fake. Date starts over again next week. 🙄 "Only 6 days" on and on.

I've tried 2 different bank cards and PayPal... IN two different browsers. Each time I cleared cookies to start fresh. Each time, it throws an Error 900 and you're invited to Email for support. PayPal does open a PayPal checkout window, then rejects the payment "Something Went Wrong".

Company may be on a Fraud BLACKLIST ? 😯 They did Reply to my Email... said their Payment Processor suspects fraud, and asking me to send photo of CC & showing last 4 numbers & Name. They also want to collect my Phone #. Any fraud is on their end, not mine.

StackSocial has like 1700 comments on Trust Pilot... most recent say, they had to jump through hoops to get a valid License Key after first one didn't work ?
