Price is wrong and way too lowĪs we’ve already mentioned, Office 2019 Professional Plus isn’t a retail product so the list price of $79.99 makes no sense, let alone the $39.99 discounted price. That’s assuming the retailer gives the buyer anything at all. We’re not aware of Microsoft ever deactivating Office however it’s definitely possible and within Microsoft’s rights. With modern activation and regular ‘call back to base’ it’s possible for Microsoft to disable or downgrade an Office install if it’s using an illegal product key.

The same product key works for many Office 2019 installs within the company.Īt some stage the organization or Microsoft realizes the product key has ‘leaked’. It’s a common trick for unscrupulous sellers, they give buyers a volume licence product key from an organization that’s bought a large Office 2019 Professional Plus licence. That’s how we know there’s something wrong with this entire offer. Stores do not sell volume licence products to individuals. ‘Professional Plus’ Office bundles are only sold to organizations as part of volume licence agreements. They are selling Office 2019 Professional Plus which is a real product but NOT sold retail.

We are sure that what you’re buying isn’t legal and Microsoft could deactivate the software in the future. We can’t say it’s a scam because buyers might get a product key to activate Office 2019. Keith H, an reader sent us a link asking “Is this a ripoff or is this a good deal?” We won’t publish the link, for reasons that will become obvious, here’s a snapshot of the web page. An Office 2019 offer that looks like a good deal for just $39.99 or maybe a scam? Microsoft seems to endorse the seller with a mention and link from so how could it be wrong? We’ll explain why we know it’s not a proper offer, so you can judge similar offers.
