I took the bait and tried as i needed one. The transaction was instant and they email the license key and guess what it did NOT work. Again, NOT working. I typed in the key and copy and pasted and it says error token not found.

the stolen code was reported stolen in between the time the seller purchased the list of stolen codes and the time you bought the code.

complain and they'll send you a fresh new stolen code. eventually you'll find a code that hasn't been reported yet and it will work... for now.

I am still using my legit copy of office 2007, mostly just Excel. Every time I open the program there is a missing DLL notice and it tries to download a fix. The fix seems to just be a trial for Office 365. I do not think MSFT likes people using their old software, legit or not

I just refuse to sign up for a subscription so I can open a spreadsheet once a month..

LibreOffice is actually decent for spreadsheets. Word processing, not so much, unless it's very simple documents. But for spreadsheets, it's been serving me well for quit some time. At least for personal use. Don't know how well compatibility is in a business environment if you have to collaborate or open stuff from clients.

Seems kind of odd that MSFT allows these key selling websites like Stacksocial to go on year after year if they are doing something MSFT doesn't want them to do, maybe they've decided it's better to allow someone to use a gray copy of Office than to chase them away to using Google's office product.

That's funny ad Google's office program sucks. I'd use libreoffice first. They do go after companies, cases take years and years. They have to make buys and then trace to enduser, etc. It just like Limewire, Kodi, etc it went on for years and then people went to prison. It's also easier to do audits on companies and catch it then. They show a picture of Office Pro but below is says Plus. Off er made possible by Authorized Microsoft Partner is a crappy logo not approved by MS. Stacksocial is not a partner.

I agree with you. Well, mostly. Your post kind of insinuates that users might eventually be at risk of prosecution (be it after 5 years). The idea that MS is going to prosecute end users of these license purchases is absurd. They might go after the sellers or the source of these licenses. But not the end users. YOU might be aware these are bad keys, but an end user who paid money for it, from a seemingly legal website may not be. Consumers of this deal are buying a license - not downloading a torrent of a cracked software. There's a huge difference in intent. A person torrenting software is consciously breaking the law. A person buying a license is simply trying to take advantage of a deal.

Needless to say, MS is not going to spend time and money to sue individuals over a $300 product. But let's assume for a second that they do - consumers will simply state (and perhaps rightly so) that they were duped themselves - sold a 'fake' product purporting to be 'real'.

Of course, we can reasonably assume these keys are stolen, so I'm not trying to absolve users of any ethical considerations. But those considerations aside, from a practical point of view, the most consumers of this deal risk is the license becoming invalid at some point.

Not individual users, not likely at least, businesses more likely.

Posted on ms website by MS agent asked if a license and activationkey are the same thing "They both mean the same thing- by concept."

BS. It's literally in the EULA and on MS site. They do not mean the same thing, not even close. Bill of Sale and Title are not the same. Boneless wings are not a real thing. As I stated as a reseller of computers and a system integrator since the 90's, if it was legit I'd buy everyone they have and include Office on every PC fo free. Dell would too and every other manufacturer / reseller. Across the world their are probably hundred of thousands of bootleg copies being sold by that many crooks.

Yup. There are so many possible combinations, some may never be caught. If a legitimate purchaser finds the license they just bought doesn't work, it gets reported and MS issues them a new key and then revoke the old one. Look it's quite simple, make the deal look at least somewhat realistic. I the product sells for $400 sell it for $380, $370 whatever $7 is a giveaway.

I agree they aren't going after individuals--but legally thay could. Probably won't but Damn if you too hard up to pay $69 a year for MS 365 Personal or $99 a year for up to 6 computers in one household--seriously you need to get a job. MS 365 Family also include 1 TB cloud per user. Now for business .MS 365 Business Standard is $10.63 a month and includes usage for one user and up to devices -- phone, desktop, laptop, tablet, 1 TB cloud storage, and hosted Exchange email. You get all updates, new versions, etc for as long as you subscribe. If a business can't afford that they probably are on their way out of business.

I'd be happy to pay the $99/year IF the 6TB storage could easily be used as an online backup system that doesn't need much maintenance. I tried it years ago and nothing was even close to being as simple as I drive, CrashPlan, Backblaze, etc.

If you've got a decent solution for that, I'm all in!

The way keys from websites like these work is they will give you a download link from Microsoft to download.

Right, but is there a way to avoid downloading from their link?

Last time I bought a similar kind of deal. They share their account to install, and your system control will be in their end. If you use their account, imagine how to secure your PC or data.

Use Privacy.com if you plan on making a purchase.

Purchasing an available install key that worked = owning the real license for life?
(It installed so it must be true.)

Getting access to a house = owning the house and shutting out the previous owner?
(I'm now sleeping there so it must be true.)

Someone drops their car keys = now I own their car?
(I'm driving it, so it must be true.)

A beef burger = a bug burger?
(It tastes the same after lots of sauce, so they're equal.)

Putting on a dress = ... ?

Stupid website jumps back and forth between Euro and USD. Why do they need a home address if the key has to be delivered online? Hello....
