Quote from Sanman99 :
FYI this is an OEM license keylikely won't be able to install it on a second machine, or even have trouble using it for a re-install or if you change significant parts in the machine such as Motherboard


so it should work to install fine
but maybe not subsequent installations
but Windows does some Account associated, digital license, so it should hopefully install to the same machine for a clean re-install if ever wanted..
This is a great money maker for whomever is using their employers lifted keys. Funny that people then complain they can't activate with it 6 months later.

And Amazon's woot is now the perfect marketplace for sketchy/fraudulently seller licenses now that eBay has cracked down.

Dunno if saying you want office is trolling or being off topic, but I recommend checking out the free community-made "LibreOffice" until you find the deal you want on MS Office.

They will send you a used key. If you install, it will be a pain to revert to your old version. My advice, don't do it, unless you want a notification showing on your device permanently saying it's not activated.
Woot, an Amazon company, is going to sell me a *used* key? They're going to expose themselves to all kinds of copyright violation and fraud claims from Microsoft, to make less than $20 per person? Are you sure?

Yes I'm also skeptical of claims that Woot would sell grey market items but it also wouldn't shock me a whole lot either

I guess the bigger debate is whether this is worth $20 Big Grin Big Grin

Remote Desktop. If you need to use Remote Desktop I believe Home doesn't allow this.

I suppose that it will depend on your requirements and restrictions...but the Chrome Remote Desktop works just fine and could negate the advantage of the Windows Remote Desktop.

As an FYI to other posters. I'm running Remote Desktop right now on Win11 Home (default load from Lenovo Legion Slim7i purchase). It works fine from android based access on phones and tablet.

as a clarification- I'm running Chrome Remote Desktop with no issues on Win11 Home.

I mean, they did sell counterfeit eclipse glasses, and that could result in permanent injury, so maybe there's a chance these are not fully authorized.

I have installed using such keys but not this one. I have installed and bought before woot, I don't remember what was it. No Internet switching off or monkeying around to activate, so this is legit as far as I see.

It's not exactly the same situation, as glasses started coming out of China with what appeared to be legitimate markings and what have you from another Chinese manufacturer and it's got to be a lot trickier to figure out which Chinese manufacturer is legit and which isn't. There's also a bit of irony here as China is now ripping off China: "Some of these newly identified counterfeits are indistinguishable from genuine Qiwei product"

Anyway, not sure it's analogous here because China is not where legit Windows keys come from. I'd hope Amazon's understanding of English and Microsoft is sufficient to know where they are sourcing them from. Given Microsoft's stature and how litigious they are (I had listings for Microsoft products removed online and don't think I could sell any on Amazon), I seriously doubt Amazon is selling Microsoft stuff that isn't legit but I'd love to hear the basis for why people believe that since I am interested in a key that is properly sourced.

Just hard for me to figure out how Woot could be selling software that's not legitimate while Amazon itself was heavily policed in terms of selling software and I had listings removed that were legitimate but I wasn't an authorized reseller or what ever.
