Windows 10: Are those cheap MS Office 2019 activation keys at online stores legal ?

Hi,


I noticed that a lot of sales going on at online store for MS Office 2016/19 at a very cheap price.



If a seller offer a new Window 10 Product key and an MS Office 2019 Activation key and the steps to download, install and activate, can there be any chance of deceit towards MS ? Does a successful activation means 100% legal and acceptable by MS ?


Is there any loopholes at MS side that enable illicit activation?


Can MS makes the Win 10 PC to crash if unsuccessful activation attempts repeatedly make ?



Appreciate your professional guidance in this area.






Thank you

:)

 

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Is any of those "cheap Windows/Office/whatever key" even legal?

I bought my laptop last week and I wish to upgrade from a Windows 10 Home license to Windows 10 Pro. I also want to get my hands on Office 2019 when it will be released. However, even if I love Microsoft, their software are way too expensive for me. So,
I went online and checked some other LEGAL ways to get a copy of those software

I find out that there are online stores that sells those software for only 15 for a Windows 10 Pro key to 30$ for literally a Office 2016 Professional Plus which costs more than 500$!

I find it fishy. Not for the payment information they will collect, but rather on the keys itself. I am not sure if those keys are even legal, especially after Linus talked about cheap keys in his recent video ().

What should I do? Should I trust these websites or am I (sadly) forced to buy some EXPENSIVE licenses just for my needs?

 

MS Office 2007 no more activated...

personally i dont its over the edge if you crack it since you buy it legally, but its better not do it
btw is that 2007 could run by serial number?
