Is the cheap software on Groupon a scam?

I have purchased W11, Office 365 and Microsoft Project via Groupon for almost nothing. Is this a scam? Things that are too good to be true usually are.

Cost me $10 to upgrade from Windows Home to Pro. No issues.

I got one of the Office ones and it wouldn't work. My company has a discount code, so I used that. Even losing the $20 from the Groupon crap, I still paid way less for Office than what MS charges.

I would say it's a scam since it can be done freely using the same pro license keys (via online KMS)

Same here, from a French company via Groupon, but it was $11.

It’s legit. Mostly you’re getting leftover bulk OEM licenses. There may be some fine print in there saying they aren’t supposed to do that but MS doesn’t care about home users.
You really don’t need to license windows at all if you don’t mind the watermark and maybe lose a couple visual customization options.
