Where can I purchase Office 2024 Professional Plus?

There are plenty of cheap deals for Office 2024. Just ensure that the key works with the Office download from a MS server

That site wouldn't accept my credit card, where as StackSocial did!

You may of dodged a bullet, mate. I have a debit card I load money on when using these types of sites. Only enough to cover the cost each time I purchase something. There’s currently $1.50 in it. They can steal that if they like.

Of course the keys "work", simply because the combination of characters matches the product algorithm. But that doesn't make the product or the purchase any more legitimate. Good grief!!

I only buy cheap keys via Ebay and Amazon or recognised sites like StackSocial.

I remember this site now, It’s a total scam and they use stolen volume licensing keys. Meaning you might be successful but if you have to reinstall Windows and reload an Office product from them, theres a very likely chance it wont work.
I read a heap of 1 starts on Trustpilot a while ago and this is the gist:

You have to use their links to download the software. (as stated in the company replies)
You can not use the Key in your Microsoft Account online, it wont be recognised or you will be informed it’s not legitimate or already used. (As stated by people who have bought a key)

I bet it says Activate Immediately when you purchase a key. Thats a good indication you’ve just waisted $30.

I remember they had Adobe Products “Pre Activated”

Which seem to be gone now.

Wouldn't Stack Social be a better alternative?

I hear ya! (Knock on wood)
I use a throwaway credit card as well.

In any case...,
The version you'd get would probably be the LTSC version, which is simply a re-brand of 2021.

I'm sitting here looking at 2019, 2021 and the 2024 LTSC versions, side by side, all at Beta 2502 - 18516.20000...,
I see zero difference!

365 has a little extra fluff.

I agree

If these were illegal Ms would have d\one something about it ages ago -- these licenses are valid - presumably with some OEM arrangements with Ms. I think the best way with these is to quote from the US Military "Don't ask don't tell". I've had several of these -- still working, update perfectly and 100% bog standard Ms Activation -- If they stop working soon - I'm not bothered -- unless you need a load of cloud storage (cheaper to buy separately if you need it) or want Office on a whole slew of computers then forget Office/365 -- I believe subscription rates are rising this year by far more than whatever measure is used for "Inflation".

Everyone has their own budgets -- but as for the value and legitimacy of these cheap Office versions (probably LTSC ones) I'm sure they are 100% kosher -- especially if purchased from regular sites that have sold these for some while now.

Cheers

There is also the issue of personal ethics. But for a few pieces of silver, it's obvious morals don't come into it.

Not at all correct in my opinion. Any fool can download a Microsoft Partner image and place it on their site. Any unethical site could resell volume licensing keys.

The site linked to earlier is not legitimate. Otherwise they wouldn’t be instructing people to download Office using only the links that they email to the purchaser and they wouldn’t be telling people to Activate Immediately.

If this is the solution for you, can you please mark this topic as solved?

I've purchased an appropriate key from here and received the downloader .exe. . However, I'm not installing to the end of this month as I'm a clean install of 24H2 then.

As per your request, I'll leave this thread as 'Unsolved' until then

The downloader sounds dodgy. I only use cheap keys which work with an official MS download site.

MS decides whether or not to validate the licence key

I agree with you about that site - if you have to use a "Downloader" or get a "Pre-activated" version offer --then avoid -- but plenty of regular sites where just download the product, use the key provided and then activate normally --these sites are OK.

Okay..., ethics and stuff aside...,
I've purchased several cheap copies of Office, via StackSocial only,
I don't pretend to know where they get these Keys, or who gets the money from the sales thereof, that's none of my business...,
Do I feel bad when get a $30 copy of Office and others have to pay full price???......,

... not really!!!
But..., when I sign into my Microsoft Account, and plug in the key I've purchased and Microsoft confirms it, that's good enough for me!

If you want to shop these so called sketchy sites, do your homework!!!
Myself, I trust StackSocial, they're legit.

Again, do your homework, document everything, screenshot everything, screen record everything!
