Most of which are VL keys that will eventually not work any more. Otherwise - especially if the seller is foreign - they are regional keys for a specific currency. While re-selling those are against M$ terms of service, they'll at least probably work.
The real answer is quit being cheap and buy the real thing directly from M$.

Is that for real? What's the catch?

They are the regional keys I was referring to.
ETA: scratch that, just saw those are pro plus keys. Those are VL keys that will eventually quit activating.

No, they arent.
Office Professional PLUS is a VL only product, sold by distributors to business only on a VL basis. Selling individually to non-business customers is against ToS.
Its real office, it will (probably) activate, but thats it. M$ will not support the product for you and eventually it will fail activation.

This is the correct answer. It isn't expensive.
Office 365 for Home is $100/year.
This is about the same as Netflix Basic plan (no HD), and is much less expensive than Sling - both of which are less expensive than most cable packages.

Ever try open office?

If your employer has it, you can likely install it on a total of 5 devices. Personal and corporate combined.

So if we have it on our work computer we are allowed a copy from work on our personal computer?

Why bother? It isn't the real deal and as I noted $100/year is beer money. I'm not going to spend time learning a new software suite with a non-standard user community to save the grand sum of a hundred bucks.

Microsoft has a Home Use Program which allows you to purchase Office Professional Plus 2016 for $9.95. To qualify, you must be an active employee of a company who has a valid Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft. Google 'Microsoft Home Use Program' to get more info.

Plus Microsoft has online versions for free. Sign up for a free outlook.com account and boom, you're in. They're as full-featured as anything "alternative" offerings have.

Find a college student or someone that gets a discount through work. I got it for $9.95 through work

My company does. $10 Office 2016 WITH MS Access, here I come!
For anyone who is considering this, be aware that your license to use the software ends if your company ends its agreement with Microsoft or you leave the company. I don't know how MS would know if you left the company, but they'd almost certainly automatically bork your access to the software if your company quit paying them.
Still, for $10, that can't be beaten.
