Nothing random about anything as both deals posted for the 2019 and 2021 both take you to the Microsoft website to either A activate the product and download from microsoft direct, or B give you a ISO from microsoft site thats already activated but it does not bind to your account, like the good old days.
Unless you just dont know that setup.office.com is owned by microsoft but thats on you than.
Option A works pretty identical to the woot deal but cheaper.
When I last purchased a key on Groupon it came from "mycodes24" that had requested me to download the office software from not a setup.office.com link.
My intention was not to bash you but to bring awareness to those that may not understand the risk they are taking by purchasing and downloading from some sellers on Groupon.
This is definitely the way to go. I paid $1.50 for 2021 Pro Plus and it worked like a charm. Grant it there are a few more steps to activate such as calling Microsoft and entering a code. But it took 2 minutes.
Don't know if I trust Woot on this one, to be honest. I tried buying a Windows code from Woot, and that went down in fah-lames. Stupid code wouldn't activate. I got a refund and a copy of Windows 10 from another source, but still, pretty annoying.

Woot isn't the seller. Like eBay, Amazon, Wal-Mart online, et. al., they are just a platform for anyone that wants to sells something to market their goods.

This is a program/script that just types in the default product key and injects an "activation successful" note into the program that does the online activation for Microsoft software. Once the software believes it has done its job, it usually won't try to check again, so it doesn't double-check to see that it was lied to.
This means unlimited free activations of any and all editions of Microsoft software. If you download the script, you don't even need internet access to run it.
There is absolutely no reason to pay any amount of money for sketchy product keys while this exists and works.

Taking legal advice from software pirates is YMMV.
Not the experience I had with the MS key I purchased elsewhere.
You both are right, you just dealing with a different product. With Home and Business activation the new activation will deactivate license on previously registered computer, not so with MAC key.
