Where the legal price advantage comes from

There are two legal ways to buy Office cheaply. First: verified pre-owned licences. Software licences may be resold; this is the principle of exhaustion. On this secondary market the price is below the manufacturer's new price, with no loss of quality.

Second: the choice of version. Office 2021 is cheaper than Office 2024 and fully covers everyday Office use. Anyone who can do without the longest update period saves even more here. Both routes are legal and risk-free, as long as you buy from a reputable provider.

Cheap yes, too cheap no

  • A realistic price. Considerably below the Microsoft Store is legally possible. A fraction of the usual price is unrealistic.
  • Ask for a VAT invoice. A low-priced but reputable provider supplies a proper proof of purchase.
  • Activation guarantee. It makes the cheaper purchase as secure as the expensive one from the manufacturer.
  • Check the support. Being reachable by phone and live chat is a reliable sign of trustworthiness.

Häufige Fragen

How can I buy Microsoft Office cheaply and legally?

Through verified previously-used licenses, whose price advantage is based on the principle of exhaustion, and by choosing a cheaper version such as Office 2021. Both routes are legal.

Why is used Office software cheaper?

Because it is second-hand. On the legal secondary market a price below the new price emerges, without the software losing any functionality.

When is a cheap Office offer suspicious?

When the price is unrealistically low, for example in the single-digit franc range, and when the invoice or support is missing.
