You may want to clarify that "cycle" probably won't end for a decade. For example Office 2013 was supported until April 2023. Office 2016 and 2019 are slated to be sunset (as of now) in 2025 though. Might change, might not.

This is not a subscription. It's a one time key for software that will lose updates at the end of version cycle.

This is a gray market key, aka, volume key.
you can find those volume keys around this price (about 20 dollar for MS office and 6 for windows) from gray market sellers, so the price is nothing amazing.


just don't expect this is a completely legit key. (it probably going to work, in fact, i bet this will definitely work, as i never expect MS to actually audit those keys), just don't fool yourself thinking you are buying a 439 dollar key for 25 dollars

I used premiumcdkeys and was able to activate without issues. Phone activation took about 10 minutes.

There are a bunch of YouTube videos how to do this. Here is one:
https://youtu.be/8G8Mt-f23cY?si=krfUD0fZOqg5fT1h
My new PC had Microsoft 365 installed but not activated so I followed the steps in the video and it works.

Thanks for that I found this off Redit as well. I might hold off on running a script. Always paranoid it might contain trojen/virus or something to compromise my machine.

All Groupon, Stack Social, and other independent Media Marketplace sites, are 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. If you buy one of these re-purposed codes, install it fast as others may get the same code around the globe. There are bad reports of some waiting past their credit card chargeback period to install, and then getting an error that it was already used. It may work for a year or ten, or not at a all - but you are definitely NOT the life longer sole owner, and you are NOT the permanent LICENSE owner. Remember, an install code is NOT a software license, just like car keys don't imply ownership.

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


Paying $25-$60 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 might be a little wasteful.

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 real name is being given to Microsoft by the international code re-purposer.

Unlike many other Microsoft Office apps, you can download and use OneNote without paying for a Microsoft 365 subscription—it's free for anyone to download and use.

I upgraded from 13 to 19 just for the additional functions in excel, which to me was worth it. Xlookup alone is amazing…no more vlookup or index/match limitations, I even use text before/after every once in a while. No idea if there are major changes to the other apps as I never use them. That said, I just worked with Google sheets and found most of the functions I use are there, so who knows how useful office really is.

In my experience, as long as nothing changes but the OS hard drive, and you clone it, you probably are ok.

Not all grey market keys are volume. I have a grey market key site, and I only sell legitimate retail keys. You are correct that volume or MAK keys are not legitimate. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell what you're buying beforehand unless you use a reputable site, which this does not appear to be.

This is PRO PLUS, NOT PRO. Pro Plus only comes in volume licenses. No retail available.

I have installed and activated a number of these grey keys from several different sources, never Groupon.

It is not unusual to have to do a phone activation. Just more steps to jump through to get an activated copy. I have never had one NOT activate or be deactivated later. They have an app that you can use to input the number sequences, and it will output sequences that you enter.

The gotcha for grey keys = you can NEVER install this key ever again, whether on this computer or another. If you ever have to reinstall Windows on the exact same hardware, they key won't activate again. But for these prices, you just buy another key if that happens. NOT reasonable to expect the same functionality as if you paid $300+. If you buy a retail license, you can uninstall it on one computer and install it on another computer. You have to read the fine print on the license agreement at purchase.
This is not accurate. I sell Pro Plus retail keys. I even sell bind keys of Pro Plus which can be added to your MS account and moved from PC to PC. Who you buy from makes all the difference, and you'll pay extra for the legitimacy, which means you're not getting a Pro Plus retail bind key for $12. More likely $80-100, but still way better than $400.
