First off, these aren't subscriptions. It's a perpetual license key. A subscription infers it renews after some period of time. To call these "subs" or subscriptions is a misnomer.

Second, this is not Office 365 in case anyone was confused. It's Office 2021 Home and Business (a retail product) meant for home business users.

Third, these do not include the 1TB OneDrive that is included in Microsoft 365. This is just apps.

If you don't need cloud storage, and just need apps, and want to take a shot that these keys are legit, I guess $20 isn't a big gamble. This product (legit license) is $250 from Microsoft [microsoft.com]. If you think you get the same thing for $20 then this deal is for you.

Most likely grey market, here's a great write-up from another deal regarding what that means: https://slickdeals.net/f/16878332-microsoft-office-home-business-2021-lifetime-license-for-windows-or-mac-35?p=165501458#post165501458

I just received my key and was able to successfully activate. It's kinda sketchy because the key doesn't work on Microsoft's redeem website and you have to download their specific img file from mycodes24.

I get charged like $7/month to use Microsoft word. Is this a way around that…or any other way?
There is also the free version available online at Office.com Depending on your needs, it might work for ya.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/m...t-365/word

Its online only though. The online Word looks pretty much like regular Word to my amateur view, but it lacks some features of full Desktop Word.

The term lifetime subs in the title here is misleading. This isn't a lifetime subscription to any cloud service. Microsoft software license that you download and install has always been for the lifecycle of the product and once they decide on EOL there will no longer be support for bug fixes, feature updates or security patches.

I don't see it saying "lifetime subs". It says "One Time Purchase - Lifetime"

"subs" would be a subscritpion and this is not a subscription.

This is not Microsoft 365.

"Lifetime" is only as long as MS provides updates. Sure, you can still run Word 2007 but some apps, like Outlook could stop working at some time when they no longer support it (security issues in old versions). Other apps that interoperate with Word and Excel may stop working once 2021 apps are outdated.
Considering i still use my Office 2013 keys and it works great (for as primitive as it looks nowadays) then i think we are safe investing $20 in 2021 keys for whats probably a good 8 years of use.

The error from Microsoft web site is token not found, which means the key isn't in their database.

A.k.a it's probably a generated key a.k.a fraudulent / piracy

yeah it's free, I used them during my college days and it works fine.
So how come people try to buy the software and not just use the online version of it?

Yeah... that sound legit. At best, this is pirated software that will run fine a while. At worst, the file you just downloaded from a sketchy third part contains spyware.

Now to be fair, the link to the file is on Microsoft servers. However the key not being present in the activation database is highly sketch.

Keep a copy of your key somewhere, ideally on a flash drive or SD card for easy copy and paste
Doesn't matter, I reinput the code and it doesn't work.

All Groupon, Stack Social, and other independent Media Marketplace sites, are mostly selling re-purposed re-used off-licenses created/discovered by an international install-code finder person/group. They go by many names (often "NerdUsed") and they sell their international software install-codes from $2 to $50 per code, depending on the country, site fees, etc.

There's no difference between one of their codes bought through Groupon or a site in Italy, India or Indonesia - except they know Americans are willing to pay significantly more for the same codes. So they rotate short-term "deals" between U.S. media marketplace sites. They push "ACT NOW", "LIFETIME LICENSE" and "EQUAL TO STORE BOUGHT CODES" to get fast sales.

They're all in the same re-purposed re-used off-license category that can be flagged by Microsoft at any future time. They guarantee install (eventually) during the credit-card chargeback period, but they don't guarantee them permanently. We can't go through the marketplace site afterwards for future problems because they state that they are only a financial transaction hub, like eBay.

"It installs" does not equal "it's yours for life", but will likely work for a few years, unless it fails to immediately install. The same with buying keys for Ferrari online. It may work for a year or ten, or not at a all - but you are definitely NOT the life longer owner.

Groupon = Stack Social = PC World Marketplace = Woot = every other Marketplace Site


Paying $25 is getting you no better product quality, or authenticity, or product life, than paying $2-$10 on an international site. Groupon is giving you ZERO added authenticity or added value, outside of a 30 day return window, that coincides with your credit card chargeback period.

U.S. based marketplace sites do well selling these global codes because they can charge significantly more for these codes, while offering nothing more in return (except its site brand recognition). Instead, people should pay $2-$10 and donate the extra ($15-$23) to a local charity in their area.

Alternatively, one could purchase a genuine product, sourced directly from Microsoft, via an Authorized dealer/distributor that guarantees that it's yours for life, and unlimited RE-INSTALLS (if de-install, then re-install for a newer computer or updated storage drive).

I'm not saying that buying this category of install codes is bad, but paying ridiculously more for a code purely because one recognizes the U.S.-based Marketplace site is wasteful. You can extended the life of your (temporary) install code by avoiding major upgrades, reinstalling, changing drives, moving to another computer, etc. After your credit card chargeback period, you have ZERO warranty or install guarantee from anyone.

Lastly, the international install-code finding group still gets your name, address, phone, and perhaps more, whether you purchase from Groupon, Stack Social, etc. They request that as part of their agreement so they know who ended up with a code. Use a fake name to avoid personal details being sent to a group located in a non-Western country. No one honestly believes that their purchase details are being given by the global finder to Microsoft? I bet some do! That's so funny.

I thought MS was only doing the Office 365 subscriptions to avoid these lifetime keys? Or are subscriptions only for Businesses?

I discovered while MSFT does not do eHUP anymore my work license allows me to download up to 5 copies of MS Office on my personal devices as long as I remain employed at my current company.
I've heard that before, but how does that work? Using your work license on a personal device.
