For anyone interested, this is a one-user licence.

Oooh nice, and I can get an Amazon Alexa Dot for $29 if I purchase Office. Pretty good deal

I have a version of office 2021 running nicely on my desktop. If I get 365 can it run alongside of office?

Is that the potentially dodgy copy you asked questions about on this thread?

If so, can I suggest you just remove that and purchase a legit copy of M365? As mentioned earlier, this can be stacked - I’ve bought one and am now covered until Aug 2024. $75 a year for M365 - including 1T of OneDrive - is a no-brainer if you don’t need a multi-user version…

Good memory ! That was what I am planning on doing Just I am somewhat paranoid that I will remove office then there will be some grief with the 365 install . I was hoping I could run both and slowly ease my way out of it. will give it some more thought.

If you have an existing multi-user license e.g. family, they give you the option of 9 months of family instead of 12months of personal when you redeem the code

is this for certain - because if so, its a good deal

For example, if you use a Microsoft 365 Personal product key to renew, and you currently have aMicrosoft 365 Family subscription, you'll be offered a choice to stay with Microsoft 365 Family subscription and receive less than a year of subscription benefits, since Microsoft 365 Family costs more, or you can switch to Microsoft 365 Personal.

How do you stack the licence?  Do you load it now and it just extends your expiry by 12 months, or do you buy it now, but wait till you current sub expires, then load it then?

@Earbanean: I can't imagine there's any issue if you want to wait to load it closer to the expiry time, but there's no need (plus my concern would be I'd lose the email with the code!). Just a matter of going through the same process more than once, and the additional time will be added on, hence why I now have my sub expiring in Aug 24 (I initially renewed only about six weeks back).

Perfect, thanks.
