I've seen office professional for 15 bucks, I wouldn't say $25 for the basic version is a good deal… Especially considering you end up with a Microsoft product.
You can buy legit office keys for like 4$ on many sites. It might just be a couple years old
Those keys are mostly 'volume keys' which are meant for devs. Some people sign up as devs and pay some joining fees and in return they get lots of Office keys and sell it on their website. You can't use those product keys if you want to use Office on a different device as it'll not bind to your MS account or can't be activated on a different machine. You need to buy another key to use it on a different machine.
Well, depending on your use case, you might not care. If you want casual power point editing on your laptop, just slap a cheap key and it will work fine, buy another one for your home desktop and you are still <10% of a "genuine" licence. If you change your pc just buy a new one and you might even find a newer version. As for the MS account, I don't know anyone who uses it for office licence sharing, so I can't tell about it
But you're saving 80%!!
And the best part is that while the key is valid, the license isn't, so technically you're paying for a pirated app
(Explanation: those keys come from msdn or from a Microsoft partner action pack - they activate and look legit, but are licensed only for development and internal testing for that company)
How are they not getting the book thrown at them by Microsoft?
The actual reselling is done by a shell company that disappears and reappears with a different name when hit by lawyers.
This website just gets referral money from each sale, they're not selling the grey market keys
It's crazy to me that all these websites advertise pirated/stolen Microsoft keys and aren't getting in trouble for it.
The idea is that even if you're using pirates windows, you're still in the windows ecosystem, you'll be more likely to pay Microsoft for other things. So in a weird way, yeah you didn't pay for windows, but you also didn't buy an Apple either, and now you're using windows apps and programs.
This was Adobe's strategy with Photoshop. They basically let the piracy happen knowing everyone would learn and stick with their software.
And it worked. Try finding any professional art/design jobs that don't use Adobe.
Seeing how trivial it is to circumvent that "DRM" it had to be intentional
Sell-out is the noun form. The verb form needs a space. It's like the difference between 'fuck up' and 'fuck-up'.
Only in UK English, US English doesn't.
