I want to buy Microsoft Office, and I found this website on [vertaa.fi](https://vertaa.fi). They are selling Microsoft Office and other softwares really cheap. For example: [Microsoft Office 2021 Professional Plus](https://www.productkeys.fi/tuote/microsoft-office-2021-professional-plus-pc/) (PC) in just 16,90€ which is really cheap. The second cheapest store selling this product is [cdon.fi](https://cdon.fi) and that is selling it in 49€.

Some of the softwares listed on that website have normal price (eg. Office student version in 99€). That’s why I’m wondering if it is a real shop that sells the genuine licenses? If anyone has experience buying from them, please share.

  1. I’ve bought W10, Office 365, Photoshop, some games etc.
    Works fine and seems legit since no service has rejected the licence numbers.

    I’d use it when I needed a licence.

  2. It’s not since licenses are not physical goods you can’t really get them cheaper that the software company is willing to sell them. The codes are real most likely that you will get the product code and it will activate but they are either stolen by some sub contractors from job site, bought from the software company with stolen credit cards. So to avoid being used for money laundering or getting the license revoked later I would stick to reputable retailers and if you are looking for a deal best place would be the source in this case Microsoft store.

  3. What do you think? Over 500€ software for 17€?

    Legal? Yes. Against Microsoft terms and eula? Yes. Some keys come from cheaper countries. Some are bought using stolen money. Most of the keys are usually volume license keys, itended for companies and bought in bulk.

  4. They are “grey market” licenses. Usually, some company buys loads of licences for OEM machines, or for use on their site. They then re-sell these licences against the terms of the original sale, which means the licenses may get revoked at some point.

  5. Seems to be Norwegian company with translated website to get Finnish customers. As mentioned, these tend to usually sell bulk codes with somewhat grey area acceptability. But the stuff will likely work.

  6. Grey market keys. Probably OK, but who knows really. Personally I have no experience with the website you mention, but I did buy quite a lot of keys from random ebay sellers. I’ve never had any issues with those.

  7. I bought one, it was Win 10 license. License didn’t work and I had to call Microsoft. Can’t remember did they gave me new license or what but after the call I managed to get Windows licensed. No problems after that.

  8. I have seen hesburger menu display and checkout displays are also running on not activated windows licenses. hehe, dont feel guilty, nobody wanna pay full price for microsoft scam products. microsoft makes the real money with selling your data without asking you.
