I don't want to threadcrap on what would otherwise be a killer deal, but I have read there is a potential security issue with these cheap Office licenses. Allegedly the overarching organization that is registered with Microsoft could potentially have access to your data, based on the way these particular licenses work. If you aren't at all concerned about that, go for it. It's what's kept me from pulling the trigger over the years.

Quote from muslhead :
I guess having microsoft have access to your data (additionally) is ok? What's the difference whether its only microsoft or microsoft and the "overarching org"?
Using Office, regardless of who its purchased from is a potential security issue.
Because you know who Microsoft is. You have no idea the person or persons behind the registered organization, or THEIR intentions, if in fact they have access.

FWIW, I just bought a license and installed it on my Mac. The "About" screen says it's a retail license. Since it's not a corporate or volume license, this shouldn't be an issue.

This is incredibly incorrect. Everyone gets their own key. They are just a retailer lol

The best comparison for your theory is that you only buy your phones at Apple.com, b/c if you bought it at Best Buy, then Best Buy will be able to access your logs/phones.

Reading reviews for this site on Better Business Bureau, sounds kind of sketchy. https://www.bbb.org/us/ga/atlanta...3-27432987

Yikes I read through a few and it's not very reassuring.

If this deal was Groupon or Woot I might buy..

I would be willing to bet these are keys from Microsoft's Home Use Program which allows employees of partner companies to purchase discounted copies of Office. I used to buy them all the time. Probably safe but also likely a license violation.

I thought they discontinued the full licensed editions and now only offer low discounts on the Office 365 yearly subscription instead.

I miss the big discount on the old standalone licenses.

The claim sounds interesting to the tech illiterate but this person is surely full of shit unless literally anyone can reference any case like this, I'm even up for hearing it from sketchy websites from unreliable sources, the claim is that far off
