I just did this with a Microsoft Office University subscription and confirm it still works perfectly. Not the simplest of processes to follow (not least the activation through a valid university email account) but if you have a child (or you're a student) at a valid uni this is brilliant value. Bought the Office software on Ebay for £30ish, and spent £7.99 on a monthly subscription to Office Home. Now I have five copies of Office until 2nd August 2019! Brilliant.

Yup still working - bought 4 personal codes from eBay (2 from the US and 2 from the UK), stacked up the product codes then ordered the Home 1 month from MS store and boom, there it is a nice home subscription until 3rd Aug 2019 - fan flipping tastic!

Hi,
Anyone got any ideas with this.
Stacked 4 x codes and when I visit Microsoft it gets stuck on this site. microsoftstore.com/store/ . Its seems to be stuck on an eligability checker... Any items. have tried another PC
Think it has something to do with payments... Have added a credit card and it just gets stuck in a loop

Can anyone tell me if this sneaky upgrade still works?
"LHpost • 17 days ago Appears to work still in Sept 2015 -- I just stacked then converted, and it looks fine. Will verify that it still works after the first month, but it sure looks like it's good for the duration! Thanks so much for the tip."
Also I shall be attempting this myself for the second time this year in the next day or two so shall post back here if it still works! :wink:
