I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    You can still buy liscenses for office. I just bought a key off a shady vendor for $30 and have a fully activated, non subscription office 2022

        Dont think they can, it’s a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through “grey” channels. There’s a whole writup on it.

        Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn’t had an issue for 20 years, I’ll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate
