Microsoft Office Home 365 Subscription Premium 1 Year 5 Users For Mac And Windows Users!
PRICE REDUCED FOR A LIMITED TIME, ADD TIME TO YOUR ACCOUNTS!
Had a few of last years Microsoft devices that came with Office 365 Premium keys from hukd, but some expired and are expiring, so used this seller on eBay to extend some accounts in the last week.
Also physically, as in called, as in rang, as in no stupid live chat windows.. Microsoft to check 3 of the 5 purchased.. all ones we checked were ok to
add to existing Office 365 Home accounts..
Not sure if there will be many hukd members that do not have an actual
MS Office 365 account, after the spate of Office deals and codes here last year, but this WORKS 100% with a new signup and new email as well!
Lowest price we can find, but if anyone can beat £39.95 for a years premium
with 5 devices, please post it!
>>>>>
Seller has had a massive influx of orders, so I have mailed them to ask
if they can put the sale price back on, as feel it only went up due to the
large amount of sales and maybe they thought.. "what the hell is hukd!"
Update coming..
>>>>>
9:36pm UK time
Price now back to £39.95 ladies and gents ;-)
Hurry as this reduction, after it increased a little while
ago from the lower price, is limited and I am not sure if the
seller will do it again @£40 for us!!
Note: If you have ANY issues with installing, registering, region
vpn, extending your current MS account etc etc.. please ask
the seller by ebay messaging as they are more than helpful ;-)
>>>>>
11am UK - 17th
Price went up to £63, after a bit of communication, now back
to £39[ish] so fill your boots ;-)
>>>>>
7pm UK - 20th
After much coming and going.. pleased to say it is now back at
£39[ish] the exchange rate is a little worse today, but only a tad
if you missed it/want to extend/fancy trying out office 365 then
fill ya boots.. again!
6pm UK - 27th

Not sure how someone that thinks Google Docs is by any means equivalent to Microsoft Office can call anyone else an idiot. Clearly not an Office power user.
The advantage of this method is you can stack subscriptions and get 5 PCs covered for up to 5 years at £30 ish a year

One of the ways we used and worked last yeat, have no *cheap* devices left with licenses that have not been extracted anymore!!
Just to confirm this deal also lets you stack up to 5 years in full [we tried it with 2 subs and got 2 years on one]
and at time of this post, seems to be working ok still ;-)

I can't speak for 2010, but I bought Office 2007. It is fairly up to date with the ribbon menus. I have OneNote, Word, Excel and PowerPoint with.... no subscription.
No way would I pay a subscription.
If I did not already have 2007 I would use Google Docs which is perfectly good for most non power users.

With Office 365, you will be blocked from using the program after your subscription has expired. However, the Office applications won’t be removed from your computer. Instead, the applications will enter the reduced function mode, in which some features are disabled and you may only be able to view and print existing files. You can renew the subscription and make the applications fully functioned at any time.

None? Office 365 Personal, Home & Small Business, do not work without a valid subscription? Or do you mean
something else?

Correct Bob, of the ones we got, 3 different buyers, 2 were in the ebay message system, one
took an age.. no idea why! one was within 15 mins and 1 came by email but think the ebay
api sends a copy of the internal ebay purchase message [with all the crap ads stripped out!]
to the buyers paypal anyway..
>>>>>
Nope Sanj, not a dumb question, the subscription for this version is 5 devices, 5 users for 12 months use
after which, if you buy another 12 months [it comes in 6 month chunks] you can update your subscription
to 2 years for another £39 ;-)
This is *currently* the easiest way to extend the years and afawk the lowest price by quite a bit!
>>>>>
No need to spend £100 on 4 bits of software, that you cannot update after you buy them, when you can just buy this / extend this for 3 years for roughly the same price and get all the updates & 5TB of storage! Plus updates for free, every time they are released to the wild ;-)
I assume Tomb means, what was the last version of Office that you could just buy and install a retail version of rather sign up to on a subscription basis. You can still do it but, unless you've got some sort of corporate discount with your employer, they still charge 'quite a bit' for Office. The RRP is in the hundreds but my employer has a discount deal for under £10 for Office Plus I think it's called. Office 365 will give you all the updates/upgrades to Office, rather than being stuck on Office 2010 but, for some folk, it's ideal to stick with a version that they know how to use and Microsoft don't go and change stuff.
Edit: Youngy just beat me to it, but that version doesn't include Access and other bits

Libreoffice or Apache are free, so I have no clue how MS can get away with charging this much, or even using a subscription method! These prices are ridiculous, if I wanted to use the Microsoft version that much I'd definitely be going down the kms route instead.

Oh, why can't I sell the other 4? Is it just illegal or it wouldn't even work? have no use for them at all as family already has office suites and I don't want/need OneDrive.
I am still wondering if I should buy directly from Microsoft. The thing is, Microsoft offers a 30 back guarantee with refund in case I don't like it. Also I would rather pay the £7.99 a month to see if I like it. The only thing I'm wondering is if it's a 12 month contract or a rolling monthly contract? I would rather buy from Microsoft directly just so I can directly profit them.

The other Office 365 Home Premium users are attached to the main owners account, but it can be *anyone* that

MS offers a 30 day money back gurantee.. PP offers a 60 day one!! In some cases 180 days worth! But do not
know why you would not like it, if everyone in your family already has it?
The included 1TB each, 5TB total is one of the best things about this deal/price/version as you will not get
1TB for nothing anywhere else that works fluidly with the Office suite! :wink:
misa426
16 Apr 161#40
Oh, cool.
The thing is, I've deliberately left Office 2003 on my family's computers and not upgraded, because they're elderly and it would take them long to get used to the new versions. Ever since Office 2007 they changed it to that ribbon and the whole flashy theme which I still find less intuitive and weird. I grew up with the old style and I still prefer that style. I don't know if I could get used to the new look. Now you might laugh, but the only programs I use to create documents right now are Notepad and Wordpad that come with Windows. Yep, Notepad! I love Notepad because it's so resource un-resource-intensive and simple. The only reason really I'd even want to get Microsoft Word is for formatting and spelling check, but spelling check I don't need that much as I use dictation.
OneDrive is one of those things that I think I'd never use. Given that I work mainly with documents that take what, 100KB of storage each at the most. I would never come close to using 1TB let alone 5!

2007 is an awful piece of software compared to office 365 / office 2016.. as for the power user fluff, we use
google pro docs for some clients and this is not knocking the free versions or google docs, it is just a really
cheap way to get on the MS office 365 bandwagon without the silly £79.99 fee that MS charge and get all
day long for this..
If you like the *ribbon* menu on 2007, you will LOVE the 2016 ease of use, compared to it!

country locations, think *might* is not really an issue!

If I do buy this from the eBay seller, will I still be profiting Microsoft indirectly, in a way? Because I know I could probably pirate this (except for the Skype minutes and OneDrive), but the whole reason I want to buy it is to profit/make a contribution to the software publisher. If Microsoft profits from this that would make me feel better about buying it.

*****GET AN ADDITIONAL 2 MONTHS SUBSCRIPTION - 14 MONTHS (15 MONTHS FOR EXISTING SUBSCRIBERS) FOR THE PRICE OF 12*****
Grab yourself and extra 2 months for each 12 months purchased free by following the below BEFORE signing up.
Before installing.....
Note: If you have an existing subscription you are ADDING to skip straight to STEP 3 FIRST to get a bonus month!
1) Ensure Automatic renewal is turned off at: https://stores.office.com/myaccount/ ... Manage account -> 'Turn off auto-renew'
2) Using the 25-character product key provided from the purchase, go to http://www.office.com/setup
3) Then click on the 'Sign up for automatic renewal' button (https://stores.office.com/myaccount)
4) Click 'Turn on automatic renewal' (Login and CC info required)
3) An additional month is added FREE :smiley:
Repeat the process with this deal for 7 months total for every 6 months purchased!!!
Fantastic deal btw OP. Worth it for the OneDrive, the Office subs is a bonus. At £3.50 per month for 1TB (aside from the fact you can add up to 4 additional accounts) its the best value cloud storage there is.
Note: I also have no need to verify on the phone, authorised straight to my UK account no VPN required

There are lots of legitimate ways to achieve this - if any of your children are in full time primary or secondary education they are entitled to this suite under the C2K scheme. There was a post about this on here! I believe it's any C2K school and not just limited to Northern Ireland... It's £8 from an employer (no subscription deals though) if they use the enterprise subscription license agreement (it's a perk that many companies fail to take advantage of!) The cheaper/lesser license agreements don't provide this "perk", if your company uses volume license keys then you can sign up for a similar home user deal (it mirrors what office applications you have). You can download the full office suite and legally "rearm" it up to 3 times, thats 180 days of full application use, you don't get the subscription perks (Office 2013 instead of Office 365)

Update 11am Sun 17th April
The price is now back down to the £39 to £41 [depending on rate] mark again ladies and gents ;-)
Again, not sure how long this price will be live, but it seems to be in blocks
of 50, which sort of makes sense, as that is around the amount that bulk
VL holders with MS get a discount!
For anyone struggling with the making of a new account, adding to an old
account, extending a nearly run out account, follow the instructions from
the seller [who by the way has a verified paypal money back status listed
as a business seller.
I have asked if I can use the instructions, but it was greeted with a blank
as to "Can I post them here on hukd" so do not want to rock the apple
cart while the price is discounted again ;-)
Weirdly, a few here, who I am assuming have yet to get it one at the
less than RRP price, are referring to the issued keys and confirmation
of said keys as a bit dodgy.. which is WHY prior to posting this deal &
after buying some and taking one for the hukd, I posted it AFTER as
in AFTER contacting Microsoft UK and checking that my subscription
would not only work, but also that I could pay over the phone to add
to the one I had purchased from this seller.. both MS UK & MS France
said I could extend my just made account, with the 6 month term upto
another 4.5 years..
I *think* that the licences are issued under the MSVP program and are
not student or promo ones, as they are in a slightly different alphanumeric
sequence to these ones, they are not retail ones as they again seem to be
in a different alphanumeric sequence.. so for £39 which is still a lot of £ for
something that Bill should give for free as he don't need the money anymore
and is donating his fortune away.. I happy I got some..

Sadly I need the Pro Plus version of Excel as there are features missing from the version included here (e.g. the ability to author data models). Equally sadly the NHS don't have that nice contract that gives employees cheap copies of office any more.
Is there a cheap way to upgrade or an equivalent pro version of this bundle? I've been looking at picking up a cheap grey market key but getting the one drive space bundled in would be a bonus.

I went and got Office 365 Personal straight from Microsoft US store. I had Office 2013 free trial installed, so I received a message about 50% off when you upgrade. That took me to the US store and with the code it automatically inputted, I got a $35 discount off the $69.99, so I got it for $37.09 or £27. Just sharing this if anyone else wants to try this way.

Is that a joke? Why do you feel that Bill Gates/Microsoft should give this software away for free? Just because the company is successful they shouldn't profit? I've never understood this viewpoint. Everyone seems to expect to get everything for free these days. It's the whole "open access" malarky. I'm perfectly happy handing my money over to Microsoft for good software that I will get a lot of professional use out of and in fact will make money from. Not trying to be confrontational, I just don't agree with that attitude.

Unbelievable isn't it. I love the fact this person refers to Microsoft as "Bill", like its a one man start-up. Apparently once a founder gets super rich he/she shouldn't care about the employees and just bankrupt the company. I sincerely hope this person isn't a company director :-o

Unfortunately sticking with old unsupported versions leaves you open to vulnerabilities which Microsoft no longer patch. 2003 has been out of support for over 2 years, with hackers reverse engineering patches it does leave you open to hacks. Would need to be extra vigilant to email attachments etc.
Also ref OneDrive, it's good for backing up your files, especially photos or accessing your files from multiple devices. I use around 6GB for photos etc and find it very useful.

Not sure if it's been said already but if you only need two devices go buy a Linx 7 for ~£35 which should come with it free, or another cheapo Windows tablet (new ones sell on eBay for £35 with awful specs but free office), then remove the Linx off your Office account and you have two spare installs, then sell the Linx to CeX / eBay etc etc

MS Office Start used to be free on Windows 7 or 8. If you fresh install Windows 10 it's not included. I recently discovered you can download it (from a non-MS site, find a reputable one) and with some fiddling about like installing an MS KB patch and running compatibility troubleshooter/Windows 7 mode, cut down versions of Word and Excel do work.

This eBay seller has a nice tactic. Keep putting the price up and down so each time you think, "Oh, I wish I'd bought it!" and then "Wow, it's back down! I'd better buy it quick!"

25 Apr 16#112

If you read the thread, you will see it is not a tactic, they are supplying them in bulk, then not
selling any at the higher price, then selling them in another block..
That is why we keep contacting them, as when it is NOT £39-£41 [depending on how you pay!]
they are selling none..

27 Apr 16#122
Just bit the bullet & bought one. (Upgrading from Office 2007 so never used the subscription service).
Thinking ahead to next year when this runs out......
- Could I buy another to keep for a year then use it when it expires? (or would that be a bit dodgy).
- Can you stack subscriptions? (so buy another now & use it so I have 2 years till it runs out?)
- Should I just hold off and hope there are deals in a year?
Ta for any advice.
misa426
27 Apr 16#123
Got it for £34! Seeing as I paid £27 for the single license for Microsoft I might as well cancel and refund that then!
Tomb
28 Apr 161#124
Answering my own question.
You can stack the subscriptions (? for up to 5 years).
In the email I got from the seller it says that he will discount further years bought & when I inquired the price quoted is:
- one extra year $47.49 (5% off the current $49.99 price)
- 2 extra years $91.98 (8% off the current selling price)
- 3 extra years $134.99 (10% off current selling price)
(although I imagine this might change dependent of whatever the current selling price is).
Another handy thing to note is that (apologies if already highlighted elsewhere in thread) is that if you agree to auto-renew the subscription each time you enter one of the 6 month keys you get an extra month free.
You can then cancel the auto renew immediately (& before you enter the next key to do the same again).
As I am going to buy the extra 3 years (for $134.99) if I they supply me with another 6 x 6 month keys I will actually have 4 years and 8 months in total as opposed to the 4 years I bought (including the initial years purchase).
One point to be aware of is that when you cancel the auto-renew in your account the system makes it look as if you are in fact cancelling the whole account - very sneaky of Microsoft & designed to put people off hitting that cancel button. You just have to go ahead with the cancel auto-renew then the next page is a check / "are you sure" page which clarifies that your subscription does continue and it is just the auto-renew that is cancelled).

Nicely answered Tomb ;-)
>>>>>
Can confirm [as already mentioned way back] that these have been used as an extension to an old
account that expired, a new account with 1 x 6 months, a new account with 5 years worth and also
that each 1tb of data given to each user is not accessible by anyone else in the 5 device users..
eg: 5tb in total, so if you send the other 4 to yourself, you get 5tb via 4 extra email setups eg:
youremailhere @gmail.com then youremailhere+1 @gmail etc etc > cheap, secure and 100%
on point cloud storage you can auto sync all your devices to.. including photos on the fly!

28 Apr 161#126
Good to know, that's me just finished adding my extra 3 years to the 1 year I had already bought.
It took a wee while what with toggling the "auto-renew" option on and off :-)
Well worth it though - for grand total of $185 (under £130) my 5 user subscription is now valid for the next 4 years and 8 months.
Add into that the fact that I have 3 other "family members" :wink: on board with this - its costing us around £30 each for over 4 1/2 years 365 and 1tb OneDrive.
Happy days....

Yes, you can single stack or add up to the full 5 years subscription [have done this and it works] via
these subscriptions.
Yes/No, you can use your existing email [which a lot of people do] or you can simply got to outlook.com
and make a new one just for using all of the MS office / windows / cortana software&hardware features
across all your windows based devices ;-)

Have you got nothing else to do, other than post negative remarks about everything in this thread?
You purchased it direct from MS, then you did not, then you saved a £1 by buying it again, then you
state that it is not what you wanted, then it is not good enough for you as you do not need 5 devices
and now you are either struggling to use the purchase correctly [if you ever did buy one] to do what
many hundreds of buyers have been able to do..
There are a *few* MS accounts that will not be able to stack or extend or use these codes for the
longer term, mainly those that are old and obviously not real to MS, some that are old and have
used mickey mouse codes in the past that were scrapped from old oem junked hardwares and a
few accounts where people have opened one, paid, then opened another, used a mickey mouse
code and then struggled to follow the instructions supplied by this seller..
Try and keep your comments, at least if you are going to repetitively flame a thread on hukd to
at least one bit of common sense..
misa426
9 May 16#137
I think either I or you have misunderstood bobjeet. I take his question to be whether using the SINGLE code, or two sets of codes for the total of one year, with each giving one year per user x5, does that mean each user can be stacked five times to give you five years from one single purchase? My understanding is you can't, or what would be the point in buying more codes if one year's (premium) worth lasts for five years?
bobjeet
11 May 161#138
I asked the seller and he says that it will only last a maximum year, i was asking if i bought this and only used in on one device (my pc) then i could not continue using it for 5 years. I have went on and bought it as i know some people need a copy too so works out really cheap over the year! Thanks op

Opening post
PRICE REDUCED FOR A LIMITED TIME, ADD TIME TO YOUR ACCOUNTS!
Had a few of last years Microsoft devices that came with Office 365 Premium keys from hukd, but some expired and are expiring, so used this seller on eBay to extend some accounts in the last week.
Also physically, as in called, as in rang, as in no stupid live chat windows.. Microsoft to check 3 of the 5 purchased.. all ones we checked were ok to
add to existing Office 365 Home accounts..
Not sure if there will be many hukd members that do not have an actual
MS Office 365 account, after the spate of Office deals and codes here last year, but this WORKS 100% with a new signup and new email as well!
Lowest price we can find, but if anyone can beat £39.95 for a years premium
with 5 devices, please post it!
>>>>>
Seller has had a massive influx of orders, so I have mailed them to ask
if they can put the sale price back on, as feel it only went up due to the
large amount of sales and maybe they thought.. "what the hell is hukd!"

9:36pm UK time
Price now back to £39.95 ladies and gents ;-)

Note: If you have ANY issues with installing, registering, region
vpn, extending your current MS account etc etc.. please ask

What you get with this deal:
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msuk/en_GB/pdp/Office-365-Home/productID.286445200?
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/upgrade-existing-office-365-personal-1-user-office-365-home-5-users-for-1-off-7-2135803
The advantage of this method is you can stack subscriptions and get 5 PCs covered for up to 5 years at £30 ish a year
One of the ways we used and worked last yeat, have no *cheap* devices left with licenses that have not been extracted anymore!!
Just to confirm this deal also lets you stack up to 5 years in full [we tried it with 2 subs and got 2 years on one]
and at time of this post, seems to be working ok still ;-)
Always a pleasure with you Vass ;-) Savers United!!!
You will be double pleased with this then:
1: Office 2016
2: You get all the real world Microsoft work on a PC downloads with it as well ;-)
Sold!
No way would I pay a subscription.
If I did not already have 2007 I would use Google Docs which is perfectly good for most non power users.
docs.google.com is free, as is libreoffice
With Office 365, you will be blocked from using the program after your subscription has expired. However, the Office applications won’t be removed from your computer. Instead, the applications will enter the reduced function mode, in which some features are disabled and you may only be able to view and print existing files. You can renew the subscription and make the applications fully functioned at any time.
>>>>>
None? Office 365 Personal, Home & Small Business, do not work without a valid subscription? Or do you mean
something else?
I gather that the codes are delivered in email/ebay message
Has anybody had to change region to activate this
Cheers
Bob
Correct Bob, of the ones we got, 3 different buyers, 2 were in the ebay message system, one
took an age.. no idea why! one was within 15 mins and 1 came by email but think the ebay
api sends a copy of the internal ebay purchase message [with all the crap ads stripped out!]
to the buyers paypal anyway..
>>>>>
Nope Sanj, not a dumb question, the subscription for this version is 5 devices, 5 users for 12 months use
after which, if you buy another 12 months [it comes in 6 month chunks] you can update your subscription
to 2 years for another £39 ;-)
This is *currently* the easiest way to extend the years and afawk the lowest price by quite a bit!
>>>>>
No need to spend £100 on 4 bits of software, that you cannot update after you buy them, when you can just buy this / extend this for 3 years for roughly the same price and get all the updates & 5TB of storage! Plus updates for free, every time they are released to the wild ;-)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011N7884S
Edit: Youngy just beat me to it, but that version doesn't include Access and other bits
I appreciate that the alternatives mentioned are great but there are reasons that ms dominate this area.
http://www.microsofthup.com/hupuk/home.aspx?country_id=GB
Sure a few can, but most will not be able to apply for that version ;-)
Neither did I ;-) Whatever way hukd members can get it cheaper is all that counts!!
Just going to take one for the team and see if one works on my BLU WIN HD :sunglasses:
Also, can I buy this and sell off the other 4 subscriptions that I don't need?
Thanks.
Not that I know of, maybe some other members can enlighten us?
>>>>>
Think at the moment this is cheapest, but now found this way, looking for others as this will
not be around long like most *deals* ;-)
You cannot sell the other 4 users subscriptions, not sure why you would want to? Just dish
them out to family for free, the 1TB per user OneDrive is a good thing for every Windows10
user to have!
>>>>>
Only one had been sold, maybe should not have posted this until the seller was asleep!!
We got a few for one of our StreetGB lot, as thought it would not last long at that price, so *if* have one
left over by Tuesday, you are welcome to it at price I found them at ;-)
>>>>>
I have just mailed the seller [not via ebay] to ask them *politely* if he could put the sale price back on
for just a while longer, as sure they have just seen a big influx of sales and thought "Holy carp what is going on!"
Cannot hurt to ask... will update if they get back prior to going out for a meal shortly ;-)
There you go Bingo, now back down to £39.99 +/- 50p! Quick!

Welcome Agnes ;-) Still waiting on one code tried with BLU WIN HD that came with office 365, as got it running on latest insider mobile windows 10 and puts my 640 to shame now!
I am still wondering if I should buy directly from Microsoft. The thing is, Microsoft offers a 30 back guarantee with refund in case I don't like it. Also I would rather pay the £7.99 a month to see if I like it. The only thing I'm wondering is if it's a 12 month contract or a rolling monthly contract? I would rather buy from Microsoft directly just so I can directly profit them.
The other Office 365 Home Premium users are attached to the main owners account, but it can be *anyone* that
you invite to share your 5 device access with by email ;-)
MS offers a 30 day money back gurantee.. PP offers a 60 day one!! In some cases 180 days worth! But do not
know why you would not like it, if everyone in your family already has it?
The included 1TB each, 5TB total is one of the best things about this deal/price/version as you will not get
1TB for nothing anywhere else that works fluidly with the Office suite! :wink:
The thing is, I've deliberately left Office 2003 on my family's computers and not upgraded, because they're elderly and it would take them long to get used to the new versions. Ever since Office 2007 they changed it to that ribbon and the whole flashy theme which I still find less intuitive and weird. I grew up with the old style and I still prefer that style. I don't know if I could get used to the new look. Now you might laugh, but the only programs I use to create documents right now are Notepad and Wordpad that come with Windows. Yep, Notepad! I love Notepad because it's so resource un-resource-intensive and simple. The only reason really I'd even want to get Microsoft Word is for formatting and spelling check, but spelling check I don't need that much as I use dictation.
OneDrive is one of those things that I think I'd never use. Given that I work mainly with documents that take what, 100KB of storage each at the most. I would never come close to using 1TB let alone 5!
Welcome CL3, spread the word far and wide!!
2007 is an awful piece of software compared to office 365 / office 2016.. as for the power user fluff, we use
google pro docs for some clients and this is not knocking the free versions or google docs, it is just a really
cheap way to get on the MS office 365 bandwagon without the silly £79.99 fee that MS charge and get all
day long for this..
If you like the *ribbon* menu on 2007, you will LOVE the 2016 ease of use, compared to it!
>>>>>
Price confirmed just now with another purchase by someone we sent here ;-)
Just some toot that Microsoft first spouted way back, when *some* people used a vpn to swop out
the very, very cheap African purchased subscriptions, when office 365 first launched.. think that the
seller is just, sort of covering his bases if MS say.. hey are these cheap imported old office keys!
TBH at this price, with the paypal & ebay cashback guarantees and the feedback on previous buyers
country locations, think *might* is not really an issue!
Attach a zero fee card to your paypal [if you have one] prior to purchase and then choose card supplier rate, it has moved since Thursday and has gone up and down from £38.60-£42 [ish] so £41 is not bad ;-)
Sure can peter, did one on thursday with a 2 week to go uk subscription, prior to posting this, to make
sure it works ok, which it did, very similar to last years hukd *extraction* of keys from cheap devices
threads ;-)
Working on getting it back down again.. updates to follow ;-)
$%&£ ;-)
Like a roller coaster!! Trying to get the seller to reduce it again!
Grab yourself and extra 2 months for each 12 months purchased free by following the below BEFORE signing up.
Before installing.....
Note: If you have an existing subscription you are ADDING to skip straight to STEP 3 FIRST to get a bonus month!
1) Ensure Automatic renewal is turned off at: https://stores.office.com/myaccount/ ... Manage account -> 'Turn off auto-renew'
2) Using the 25-character product key provided from the purchase, go to http://www.office.com/setup
3) Then click on the 'Sign up for automatic renewal' button (https://stores.office.com/myaccount)
4) Click 'Turn on automatic renewal' (Login and CC info required)
3) An additional month is added FREE :smiley:
4) Ensure Automatic renewal is turned off again at: https://stores.office.com/myaccount/ ... Manage account -> 'Turn off auto-renew'
Repeat the process with this deal for 7 months total for every 6 months purchased!!!
Fantastic deal btw OP. Worth it for the OneDrive, the Office subs is a bonus. At £3.50 per month for 1TB (aside from the fact you can add up to 4 additional accounts) its the best value cloud storage there is.
Note: I also have no need to verify on the phone, authorised straight to my UK account no VPN required
p.s. why is this expired? It's working still, IMO.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/useterms
The price is now back down to the £39 to £41 [depending on rate] mark again ladies and gents ;-)
Again, not sure how long this price will be live, but it seems to be in blocks
of 50, which sort of makes sense, as that is around the amount that bulk
VL holders with MS get a discount!
For anyone struggling with the making of a new account, adding to an old
account, extending a nearly run out account, follow the instructions from
the seller [who by the way has a verified paypal money back status listed
as a business seller.
I have asked if I can use the instructions, but it was greeted with a blank
as to "Can I post them here on hukd" so do not want to rock the apple
cart while the price is discounted again ;-)
Weirdly, a few here, who I am assuming have yet to get it one at the
less than RRP price, are referring to the issued keys and confirmation
of said keys as a bit dodgy.. which is WHY prior to posting this deal &
after buying some and taking one for the hukd, I posted it AFTER as
in AFTER contacting Microsoft UK and checking that my subscription
would not only work, but also that I could pay over the phone to add
to the one I had purchased from this seller.. both MS UK & MS France
said I could extend my just made account, with the 6 month term upto
another 4.5 years..
I *think* that the licences are issued under the MSVP program and are
not student or promo ones, as they are in a slightly different alphanumeric
sequence to these ones, they are not retail ones as they again seem to be
in a different alphanumeric sequence.. so for £39 which is still a lot of £ for
something that Bill should give for free as he don't need the money anymore
and is donating his fortune away.. I happy I got some..
Is there a cheap way to upgrade or an equivalent pro version of this bundle? I've been looking at picking up a cheap grey market key but getting the one drive space bundled in would be a bonus.
Currently have a SafeSync subscription for cloud backup/sync across multiple computers, but the service will terminate Jan 17 so will be looking for something else.
This may be a suitable alternative.
See above if you missed it Lawe ;-)
The code had been activated on another account, hence why it would not update my subscription. They issued me with another code and everything working great now!
How do you send your soul to them as payment? Recorded delivery or is there some way of uploading it?
Nice one Itchy, thank you for coming back and letting everyone know, had a similar issue with a copy
that came in the mail, but all it was, was they had printed the licence twice on the same sheet of
paper, sent over a message and got an update and new one in around 3 hours, but it was not 4am!! ;-)
>>>>>
As the price is moving and it seems to be in blocks, eg: sell a lot, put the price up again, buy some more,
reduce it again, will try and update the thread asap regarding the lowest price as it changes on the fly!
Just asked *politely* again if the seller would be kind enough to allow a few more
at the sale price.. have to wait and see now!
Also ref OneDrive, it's good for backing up your files, especially photos or accessing your files from multiple devices. I use around 6GB for photos etc and find it very useful.
Just waiting on an update Sun.. they are on UTC -9 so bit hard to get an update in uk hours
hope to hear back before everyone starts watching "Beastenders" and misses it reduced
again! :smile:
Now back down ladies & gents.. no idea for how long.. but was already selling at
the higher price yesterday, so grab it/some if you need it!
It was a single and no idea why Misa is still commenting on everything here, after
all the help, then going and buying a usa user version anyway.. :man:
Single, I didn't need the other four subscriptions.
Thanks for the help 008, I do appreciate that but you understand everyone is entitled to choice of what they buy. Not everyone needs all 5 subscriptions, which is why I shared that. And Microsoft seems to offer a no quibble 30 day cancellation period, yes PayPal's is longer but more work of not going directly through the seller. :wink:
There are not really any left as that is what all the hukd threads were about last year!! All the keys have
been extracted out of most the hardware, so be hard to find one that has not been used or unopened to
use at sub £60 ish!
I have gone through an sure enough free for year
Well done...
Seems hukd is cheaper than all the price comparison websites put together! :smile:
Seems to be £48 now.

If you read the thread, you will see it is not a tactic, they are supplying them in bulk, then not

Welcome, glad you got in, as can see this going back up to $90 again
as soon as the sellers block of stock is sold!! :man:
Thinking ahead to next year when this runs out......
- Could I buy another to keep for a year then use it when it expires? (or would that be a bit dodgy).
- Can you stack subscriptions? (so buy another now & use it so I have 2 years till it runs out?)
- Should I just hold off and hope there are deals in a year?
Ta for any advice.
You can stack the subscriptions (? for up to 5 years).
In the email I got from the seller it says that he will discount further years bought & when I inquired the price quoted is:
- one extra year $47.49 (5% off the current $49.99 price)
- 2 extra years $91.98 (8% off the current selling price)
- 3 extra years $134.99 (10% off current selling price)
(although I imagine this might change dependent of whatever the current selling price is).
Another handy thing to note is that (apologies if already highlighted elsewhere in thread) is that if you agree to auto-renew the subscription each time you enter one of the 6 month keys you get an extra month free.
You can then cancel the auto renew immediately (& before you enter the next key to do the same again).
As I am going to buy the extra 3 years (for $134.99) if I they supply me with another 6 x 6 month keys I will actually have 4 years and 8 months in total as opposed to the 4 years I bought (including the initial years purchase).
One point to be aware of is that when you cancel the auto-renew in your account the system makes it look as if you are in fact cancelling the whole account - very sneaky of Microsoft & designed to put people off hitting that cancel button. You just have to go ahead with the cancel auto-renew then the next page is a check / "are you sure" page which clarifies that your subscription does continue and it is just the auto-renew that is cancelled).
Nicely answered Tomb ;-)

Can confirm [as already mentioned way back] that these have been used as an extension to an old
account that expired, a new account with 1 x 6 months, a new account with 5 years worth and also
that each 1tb of data given to each user is not accessible by anyone else in the 5 device users..
eg: 5tb in total, so if you send the other 4 to yourself, you get 5tb via 4 extra email setups eg:
youremailhere @gmail.com then youremailhere+1 @gmail etc etc > cheap, secure and 100%
on point cloud storage you can auto sync all your devices to.. including photos on the fly!
It took a wee while what with toggling the "auto-renew" option on and off :-)
Well worth it though - for grand total of $185 (under £130) my 5 user subscription is now valid for the next 4 years and 8 months.
Add into that the fact that I have 3 other "family members" :wink: on board with this - its costing us around £30 each for over 4 1/2 years 365 and 1tb OneDrive.
Happy days....
Know the feeling, being on hukd's like being in the Borg collective!!! Glad your sorted ;-)
Took less than 5-minutes and works like a charm - thank you very much!
Thank you for coming back to the thread and sharing your experience so others can benefit ;-)
Yes, you can single stack or add up to the full 5 years subscription [have done this and it works] via
these subscriptions.
Yes/No, you can use your existing email [which a lot of people do] or you can simply got to outlook.com
and make a new one just for using all of the MS office / windows / cortana software&hardware features
across all your windows based devices ;-)

Last exchange price after making another purchase yesterday is £35.71
Have you got nothing else to do, other than post negative remarks about everything in this thread?
You purchased it direct from MS, then you did not, then you saved a £1 by buying it again, then you
state that it is not what you wanted, then it is not good enough for you as you do not need 5 devices
and now you are either struggling to use the purchase correctly [if you ever did buy one] to do what
many hundreds of buyers have been able to do..
There are a *few* MS accounts that will not be able to stack or extend or use these codes for the
longer term, mainly those that are old and obviously not real to MS, some that are old and have
used mickey mouse codes in the past that were scrapped from old oem junked hardwares and a
few accounts where people have opened one, paid, then opened another, used a mickey mouse
code and then struggled to follow the instructions supplied by this seller..
Try and keep your comments, at least if you are going to repetitively flame a thread on hukd to
at least one bit of common sense..
Cheers smyth.. will update when it / if it changes down again :man:
