some of these licenses are fine -- but as always AYOR !!!! --Use a CREDIT and not a DEBIT card to purchase so if it all goes pear shaped you will be insured by the Bank / Credit Card company to get your money back. (EU/EEA countries --probably also in USA/Canada / AUS/NZ -- easy to check with your countries Consumer Credit protection Laws. Also buy from big suppliers like Amazon etc.
I've had about 4 of these licenses from Amazon for around 20 EUR each for Office 2019 Pro and they all activate fine and I'm sure if these were illegal Ms would be taking great pains to stop them. Of course there will be some "illegal" operators out there but most of these licenses are currently OK if got from well known markets such as Amazon.
They also update perfectly, survive new Windows build updates and can be re-installed on Clean windows installs -- you get a link to a genuine .img/.iso image--run the setup.exe from the mounted .img/.iso image (or the setup64.exe for 64 bit version) and you are good to go.
Activation is fine --no "Mak" keys / other "activation" software mechanisms as one sees on some of the more popular torrent sites such as that well known place still flying "The Jolly Roger" flag -- just enter serial number and it activates perfectly.
Image shows for my copy on this machine in Icelandic text " Product activated" where I've ticked it . You probably in English will get the text "product activated".
Of course with all heavily discounted stuff -- AYOR but that's always true with any sort of e-commerce,
Cheers
