What is the process for installing Office 2021 Professional Plus?
that link is an .img file. i've never seen ms use them before. they usually prefer .iso files. so i wouldn't trust that link as a reliable source for office. the best option is to try downloading it through an ms account and check if it allows you to save it. if not, then hopefully you didn't spend much on your likely fake key.
So this means the Key has already been activated on another system I bought the same key for, which means it won't work for me and I might lose $2-3. I'm just trying to figure out all the possibilities and probabilities to get a clear risk-reward picture. The risk-reward ratio here looks good because losing $2-3 would happen only if it doesn't activate, but I'm not worried about that money. What I care more about is downloading files from non-official links that could be risky, which is why I'm asking to stay safe. Where should I get it officially?
Redirecting here means this information is about changing directions.
Microsoft states this.
A product labeled at $300 is being offered for just $3. This is not a legitimate deal. Using licensed programs like Windows or Office means you're only paying for the software license. A genuine download of Office 2021 Pro won't work with any questionable method. If someone can't afford a real Office license, they shouldn't rely on actual Microsoft Office. A genuinely free open-source option would be preferable and safer.
The official download process is exactly what I mentioned. Log in with an MS account, confirm the key, and it will automatically download and install. They maintain the official ISO, which is why they decided to provide it this way.
