My experience buying a budget-friendly Microsoft Office 365 license: Productkey.ph review

Monday, May 21, 2018

Microsoft Office is still the best word processing and spreadsheet program that I ever used. Finding a Microsoft Office free download is like having a sense of accomplishment because getting a no expiration software is so wonderful. But risky as well. The office 365 download might have viruses, malware and keylogging software that hackers will use to steal data like passwords, credit card details and screenshots. 

I bought my laptop this month and it has a trial version of Microsoft Office installed (MS Office 2016 or 365, I cannot remember). I said to myself that I will just let the license expire. I browsed through Facebook groups and I saw a post about asking where to purchase a cheap and legit product key for MS Office. I read the comments and some suggested to buy from Productkey.ph.



NOT OEM, NOT CRACKED, NOT PIRATED, NOT ILLEGAL

I checked the website to see if they are really 100% legit. It is too good to be true that they offer affordable product key prices so ordinary folks using computers can afford to have a legit, genuine and not OEM software. They have Microsoft Office 2016, Microsoft Office 365 Professional, Windows 10, McAfee, etc. I read the FAQ. If in doubt, the buyer can apply for Install now, Pay Later program. After I saw that they have the program, I decided to purchase their Microsoft Office 365 Professional Plus LIFETIME license.


Despite having an enthusiasm to buy this Microsoft suite because of their Install now Pay Later, I did not buy this on installment. I made a straight payment through paying online via BPI. I thought it is a great deal, 1,880 Php for a genuine lifetime license. Obviously better than having Microsoft Office student edition where you still have to buy it from computer stores. If I get scammed, I just have to move on since I already know the risk and I just wanted to try it.

If you don't know what kind of Microsoft Office license to purchase. Here is the difference between Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 according to their website:

"Both of them uses the latest Office Professional Plus 2016 Apps. Both are licensed for life. However, Office Professional Plus 2016 is installable only to 1 Windows based PC and is not compatible with non Windows devices while Office 365 Professional Plus is installable on up to 5 devices that could be a PC, Mac, Tablet, Android or Iphone. Another advantage of getting Office 365 Professional Plus is that, it has a free 5 TB OneDrive Cloud which you can use to store your office files. The only downside of Office 365 Professional Plus is that, it uses a an unchangeable pre-generated username example, msoft4464@office365.pro while Office Professional Plus 2016 is attachable to your very own Microsoft account."

If you are worried about how will purchasing from productkey.ph look like, they already included some instructions on the product description so you would not be annoyed about installing the software or putting the product key correctly.

To be sure, check what Microsoft Office version do you have. If it is not MS Office 2016 or MS Office 365, you can still purchase the said software programs but you have to uninstall your current Microsoft Office program without hard feelings ^^

 My Microsft Office 365 Professional Plus buying experience

- I registered an account (free of charge) on their website so I can access my purchase/order history easily when I buy another digital product, and leave a review in case I like their service.

- I ordered the product and waited for their email about payment instructions. Payment can be made through online bank transfer or direct bank deposit via BPI, BDO. They also accept money transfer via LBC, Moneygram, Palawan Express and other well-known pawnshops.

- I made my payment via BPI online bank transfer using my BPI mobile app. I sent a screenshot of my payment to the email address they provided.

- Even I made my order and payment on Sunday, I received the digital product in less than an hour through email!

Since I purchased MS Office 365 instead of MS Office 2016, login details for a pre-generated MS Office account were sent by productkey.ph to me.

The good thing is I can change the password and attach this account to my personal Microsoft email account. They provided a link to completely remove my current Microsoft Office license and software. This must be done to avoid licensing conflicts. The great benefit of this version is you can choose whether to install the MS Office apps on your computer or just access these online by logging in to your Microsoft Online account.

If you have a slow Internet connection and you plan to buy a USB installer from productkey.ph

Just register to your network's 1-2GB surf promo then, turn your smartphone into a WiFi hotspot so you can download the software faster on your laptop. The promo I used for my Globe mobile data is GOTSCOMBODD90 sent to 8080. It is also cheaper since the store's USB price is 680 pesos (what I saw in their McAfee product since there's no need for USB installer for MS Office 365 Pro Plus)

After I followed their clear instructions, I successfully installed the Microsoft Office suite. 365 download has never been affordable except when buying to Productkey.ph.

P.S. After purchasing the product, I received a might-be auto email thanking the buyer for the purchase and will give a certain percentage of discount in case you reviewed on their indicated online channels. I think they do this since they are a new store.

I made this Product.ph review to inform students and professionals that they can buy a legal, genuine and legit software product key or license without risking themselves to spies and hackers. The best of all, software piracy will decrease. I just read yesterday that some computer users buy product keys from eBay but I have not tried it yet. Who knows, I might find a legit seller there and post a review. :)
