Ms Office is sold at dead cheap prices here. How come? I have bought some earlier. but thought of verifying with our experts here. Trustworthy?
ps:
Which is the official way to get Ms office cheap. I am planning to purchase 10 licenses.1 for Myself and the other 9 for my clients. Running short of money. So cheapest would be preferred.

Could be legit or bogus; no way to tell with the information provided.

I have received offers of around 90% off retail for MS older products from Java Code Geeks. Some here think the offers are bogus because it requires MS Office 365 subscriptions. Others have confirmed working purchases.

I took a chance and recently bought an older of Visio Pro (2021) for $15 and a $2 handling charge from JCG. It works without a subscription to MS Office 365 (though there was some mention of one being required in the description). I also have MS Office 2010 installed on that computer.

I don't think there's an official way that's also cheap. MS would prefer for you to pay full price from a retailer.

JCG's current MS Office offer is $25 for the 2019 version.

for Ms Access part I can cover using the Ms Access Runtime. But for word, Excel and Outlook (I use it through COM to make complex format reports and Excel for other analyses and Outlook for contact management and other contact or Event related tasks).

Avoid it, it is almost certainly illegal.

The cost of the one-fee MS office Home (install and no more fees) is 149 from Microsoft.

That site you mentioned is definitely a scam.

Note Office 2024 Professional Plus is never sold as retail, it is a volume licensed OEM product - keep away from that site!

You asked the identical question here I see:

Yes. I do crosspost sometimes but only on two sites at Max. Kindly excuse.

Who says you can not post in more than one forum (different sites) at a time?

It is your decision / convenience, and now, even ask to various AI apps that you could have already installed in your PC or mobile. These last, sometimes are even better because they avoid unnecessary blah blah blah that we sooner or later do. Like this post maybe.

I always tell the apps: Be concise; they understand that.

I agree that soon all of these help forums may, if not completely disappear, at least see greatly reduced traffic, as they are increasingly replaced by AI chatbots.
I have been using AI apps mostly for this vs that comparison in foreign languages.
The sole, quick and useful assistance I got with simply composed questions from my side was to assign the correct psect rosary to each of the 30++ files of code I was porting from MPASM to PIC-AS assembly. Not a single misstep.
