Not any more. You can now only get a small discount off Office 365 subscriptions.Am too late to the party but sometimes employers can get MS Office for their employees; think it’s £11.99 these days.
£60 a year for 1 person, £80 a year for a household.
These were 'exciting changes' if I recall the email I got about it correctly.0 -
For a permanent copy and none of this 1 year payment thing, which Office version should you be looking at, be it on eBay or otherwise?0

what's the downside of doing this ? Can Microsoft recognise and deactivate these codes? so that at anytime in the future you could find yourself without Office?
i note the cheap sellers on ebay are all recent and low feedback sellers0 -
