Just check the sellers if you can, that could help you determine if it's legit.

How do you know which sellers are legit? Is there other ways to get office for cheaper?

the keys they sell are legit, the question is where they got those keys from.

I wouldn't happen to know; I've never needed to buy Office for one reason or another.

To my knowledge, not really unless you have an .edu email or your school/college/university/whatever has Office 365.

i got many keys from kinguin/g2play and all the key stores, never had a single issue ever on any key ( and some of em are like many years old )

 

ppl saying its pirated ect is just bs because the keys are legit, its the same as saying the stuff u buy at the grocery store is pirated... u dont know where they got it either

Kinguin isn't "legit" for anything.

You have no idea what you're talking about. There are other issues when it comes to getting keys like that.

Perhaps you should inform yourself before running your mouth.

and just so u know, i know everything that goes behind the key systems ect

 

aswell how it works behind steam ect

 

also if keys get leaked its entirely the fault of the developer themselfs for pre generating keys really

 

but yeah cant be arsed to write 10pages of info about how it all works for u because u clearly dont :)

They work, the only drawback and the answer I hate hearing every time this topic comes up is that we don't know where they got them.

The only reason I'm here is that I have homework that I don't want to do

Thats not working comparison. Grocery store is selling stuff about price where maker/farmer gets fair share. Better analogy would be that you go into flee market to buy NEW, NEVER USED brand clothes, -90% of actual price. You can be sure that seller hasn't paid anything for them. Otherwise they wouldn't make any money from it. So those items come from OEM etc. machines or use some volume keys.

 

The one in link is particularly interesting as it states being retail key. Retail keys are $100 and 365 subscriptions for 1yr are $50. If they would be legit from known resellers.

Thats like saying its your fault to get pickpocketed since you brought phone with you. Or took some money of atm. Or since you carry wallet around. You are essentially using same logic there as what rapists use to justify their crimes.

 

Leaking anything is breaking trust or even contract set between one who made the keys and one who is selling them.

there's some great examples which explain at least a small portion of "unbelievably cheap" keys on websites of this sort:

- identity theft: claiming you're some sort of media influencer who wants keys to give away.

- credit card fraud: buying keys with a stolen credit card, to then sell them as a way of transferring money without a direct trace.

an developer is in full control of releasing the keys, they need to generate them on their own

if anything they can choose to not pregenerate keys and only generate them on legit purchases + disable them on fraud

 

if they decide to release it onto public stores its aswell the developer's decision to publish it that way and they know the risks and consequences it brings with it

 

also i know quite a few developers that actually sell their product legit using the websites . on their own :)

 

once again its fully in the developers hand, and thats why quite a few developers dont get their keys out at all( in public ) due to using proper authentication systems and anti fraud systems :)

 

everything u guys mention is all in the developers hand, point out
