Product Name: Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium Mac/Win 1yrs Sub
Model Number: KLQ-00431
I recently changed from Gsuite to Office 365 Bus premium as the 1 year subscription works out much cheaper for a single user business customer like myself.
I use aliases for my emails and 1TB storage included.
After eBay fees and reseller margin, it's hard to know how Microsoft can make any money out of that deal ;-)
I don’t believe MS makes any money off of it (most likely loses out selling a retail licence) - it’s just that we can save a lot by using those legal grey area licences.
I think the implication is you have a key that isn't legal at all (e.g., stolen, bought with fraudulent payment details, not the correct license for your intended use case, etc.).
@kwchaz: The Keys are legit, they are corporate keys that enables 100 or so machine activation.
Simply speaking, this is how it works - A company purchase the key and only activates 20 machines. The IT guy will sell the remaining 80 keys $$$ profit.
Only downside of this is if MS finds out, they will deactivate the key but the chance of that is pretty slim.
Yes, stolen products are generally cheaper than buying them through legitimate channels.
How did you do that??
Interested in how you got this, please PM if you remember
Just search eBay for Office 365 and arrange by price. Have a look at the amount sold and feedback. Decide if you are OK with getting a login where you won't have access to the recovery email (cheapest), or if you want a key so you can activate it to your email (pay a bit more). They should say in the description if you are getting a login or a key.
Can we split the $2 5 ways? 40c each per member??? 😄😃
Google (do no harm - ha!) recently raised their prices for G Suite by 68% for Australians. Most GSuite users also find that they require MS Office too. That means the minimum annual cost for a single user G Suite Basic (30GB storage) + MS 365 Home account = 8.4 x 12 + 99 = $199.80 - if you want to get the Business subscription (the big highlight is unlimited storage but only 1TB if less than 5 users in your account) then you are looking at $300.60
SO - this deal is looking seriously good (+1) at less than 50% of the cost of G Suite + O365. Now I am playing the devils advocate here as I am both a Google & MS Partner and believe that the Google product is better - however their price jack is just rude - Google needs a new mantra.
Yes I agree. Don't have a problem with the price going up, they are right it has been $50 per user per year since the beginning and our dollar is pretty dismal now in comparison, but I think we may have gotten the biggest price hike as a country in the world. An us resellers get to deal with the disgruntled customers and fallout.
Small rises gradually would have been much better. I'll have a lot of customers now looking at switching soon as their annuals run out I think.
Pretty happy with the lifetime Office 365 key for 5 members I got on eBay for ~$2.
