Found a pretty decent deal for Microsoft Office for Mac that I thought I would share.

The website link is from click2houston which is the deal section of Houston's NBC News.

This matches a previous Frontpage Deal price that has since expired.

Before buying these sketch grey-market keys, give LibreOffice a try. Open source, cross-platform, supports office formatted docs, and I was pleasantly surprised with how similar it is to MS office when I tried it recently. Probably plenty good for basic use. Oh and free to download.

Similar to office if you haven't used it since 2010. I put libre on my mom's computer because she doesn't need a paid option but they are nothing a like now. For basic stuff it's great, but anything more than basic uses it really starts to show that it doesn't really compare.

I used to get cheap ass license keys for cloud office downloads on ebay. Sounds like ebay shut down these sellers.

Another promo from the shaddy NerdUsed global install-code finder. He functions through many marketplace sites (GameSpot, PC World, StackSocial, FastKeys, SoftKeyWorld, Click2Save, AppleInsider, etc.). His mailbox address is in the U.K. and complaints go through his Telegram account.

He's finding keys through any means possible (MSDN user development license banks, etc.). The deals are short-term, via seemingly 'credible' sites (GameSpot, StackSocial - even though they are just transaction hubs) and then he moves on to another marketplace site for a promo, often using a different method of codes.

More recently, he's selling codes through the financial marketplace hubs of 'credible' newspaper and TV news media sites. His mailbox is in the U.K., but we know he's operating out of a non-English speaking country.

How are these seemingly legitimate sites falling for this?

Whether it's a city newspaper site, PC World, ZDnet, MacWorld, etc., they're all struggling to survive with an online model to replace their declining print (ad) revenues. So many of them have setup online marketplace sections that are online versions of their old classfied sections. They recognize the high profitability and low overhead when using the eBay model. Many cost items can be contracted out, including site management and credit card processing. They can firmly state that they have no ability to monitor the authenticity of claims made in their advertized products and services, nor the companies that promote them.

Whatever the product or service is, they're grateful for any small percentage of the transaction to contribute to their survival. Sellers (no mater how shady) gain a real sense of credibility and endorsement, even though it's not given. However, all these item sellers can promote the fact that they appeared in PC World, MacWorld, etc. Meanwhile, personal customer details flow directly through to the actual seller, regardless of where they are located.

Gotta love slickdeals. I saw "Office Pro 2021 lifetime for $39" advertised in a TMZ article and was like, well that's obviously not legit, let me see if slickdeals has it.
Sure enough, here you are. This place is thorough and I'm not surprised.

i bought this one from 2 days ago (frontpage deals) -- just FYI End of life (EOL) of Microsoft Office 2021 is October 13 2026. so basically you will get updates until then.
