I have just purchased a Groupon Deal for a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024. Is this legitimate or a Scam?

    Hello

    Groupon is not Microsoft's authorized reseller or partner. Groupon is like a market place, where sellers are from different places/businesses.

    Also, there are different types of Microsoft Office 2024. Groupon tends to sell Office Pro Plus, Standard, and LTSC versions. Pay attention to those specific words.

    The Pro Plus product (aka, standard, LTSC) is not designed for home users. It is a volume license, which means it is intended for organizations, not individuals. These licenses are managed by an organization’s IT department and are tied to a contract with Microsoft. Because of how volume licensing works, activation may depend on things like installation limits or periodic validation through an organization’s KMS server. Those processes require IT support from the organization that owns the license. That is why these licenses are not meant to be sold to individuals. Home users typically do not have access to the IT infrastructure needed to manage or maintain them. Unfortunately, some third-party sellers offer these licenses at very low prices. They may seem like a good deal, but they are often resold in ways that violate the licensing terms. Most buyers are not aware of these details until problems occur. And it is for such reason, Microsoft doesn't sell this type of license directly to consumer users.
