I read the comments on the other post, and many people say it's not legit. They also say this site may not sell a legit copy either. I personally would buy it from this site but I am using LibreOffice. I would buy it here if I didn't have other bills to pay. I will probably buy it next time they have this kind of deal. I posted it so people can choose and decide where to buy it.
There is no way MS would sell their product for $7. For $50, there is a chance they would.
No one is actually authorized to sell "Professional Plus", its only available directly by volume licensing for big orgs. If MS finds out its being resold they could deactivate the keys. "Professional" is fine, as long as its actually Professional and doesn't say "Plus" after you activate it.
TU and thanks for posting this.
My sub to MS 365 expires soon. For me, it's obtrusive and overkill. I'd rather have a piece of software on my computer and I'm currently using exactly what you posted on a laptop, although I think it was a little cheaper on StackSocial at the time I got it. The key worked. Bought another because these licenses are for one computer only, and not moveable to another computer later.. The second key didn't work and I literally didn't have the time to make use of StackSocial's (30 day? ) guarantee, but I do think they would have made good.
I toyed around with the $7 deal, but stopped short of payment because the site felt wonky and sketchy. Glad I didn't buy there because they still got my email, even though I specifically checked "no notifications" or whatever, and sent me email to "confirm my subscription" to their site, RK Keys, or whatever. And I never even submitted anything.
RANT or maybe an Aha moment for some (please ignore if you don't care to understand why these license keys are not "illegal") -
Microsoft decides what is legal or illegal by their "agreements" and by their actions.I doubt anyone has actually read the license agreement for their MS product, right? MS can (and do), (if they want), cripple, shut down, or phase out your expensive version of Office at will. So sure, that could happen with these deals too. People can't believe MS would sell at this price, but what they don't understand is that MS doesn't care because it benefits them in every way. Firstly, Microsoft understands and admits that they would never have become Microsoft if not for all the people who pirated copies of Windows back when Windows OS was their only product, and they haven't forgotten this. This is a fact, so getting a little money, or in this case, letting entities that have paid a fortune for bulk licensing to sell off their excess licenses to people who won't pay full price, is good for MS. If not, they'd shut it down quick. These licenses come with no support and no updates, they're already "outdated". If you bought a UN-used Ford 2021 car, you'd expect a discount. And if the seller had got a bulk corporate discount, plus you knew that you weren't getting a Ford warranty, you'd expect more of a discount.You're buying from an unauthorized dealer and you've got no warranty, but MS was already paid, plus, unlike a car, this product costs nothing to manufacture at this point. They're getting people like me who would never pay full asking price on board and they're making money on the back end. Remember this: Microsoft used to be a software company, but now it's primary business is collecting our data. They want to be Google, but unlike Google they charge us for everything. They've even toyed around with giving away Windows and MS Office. Why not? There are as many operating systems and productivity suites that are free to the user as aren't. They'll probably upsell us on more cloud storage or whatever. And as I said, selling software isn't their primary business anymore. Getting paid top dollar by advertisers, data firms, and by you and me too, isn't sustainable, but they'll keep it up as long as they can.

TY! First helpful comment I've seen on the subject.

Right on.
StackSocial has a long history of selling international code-finder install codes. It's a game. Those shady international code finders sell their codes for $3-$50. Why would anyway pay $50 for an MSDN not-for-reseller developer install code, or a non-profit's code, or a University of India student's code? Because westerners feel that paying more ($40-$50) makes them think it's a real lifetime license code! If I pay more, it has to be more equivalent to the $400-$500 product.
They'll work, or a requested second code will work. But working does not mean it's identical to a consumer lifetime license Microsoft code, just as obtaining a key to a car doesn't mean you own the car.
On sale for $30 at game spot. No idea if it's legit.
With all of them, you likely (eventually) get a working install code. If that's your definition of "legit" then it is. If you want an equivalent software license to what you might purchase from a Microsoft reseller, absolutely not. One is lifetime and can't be disputed or taken away. The other is likely to be difficult to reinstall or update at some point, but you'll likely get 6-12+ months with it (or years) depending on not upgrading or changing your system, upgrading your primary system drive, etc. People have been successful with these codes from a couple months to decades. YMMV. Most buyers know that and accept that gamble.
Paying $30-$60 for the same codes as a $3-$9 code makes one extremely foolish. StackSocial (or the Marketplace sections from PC World, Mac World, etc.) are merely independent distributors. Their name offers zero additional credibility towards getting a better product.
Lastly, never forget that the original seller (in addition to the Marketplace site, like Stack Social, etc.) will get your primary contact data, and perhaps even your credit card data. That's going to an international (non-western country, think China, Russia, N. Korea, Iran, etc.) person. Fools would give them their real details and their primary credit card details. Some of them make another $1-$10 selling details on the dark web, which sometimes shows up 2-6 months later with a $1 card hit to test. That's happened to me a few times.
