MS Office / o365 apps

When I got laid off, recently, I lost my O365 license. I am not a student. I mostly just want the o365 version of Excel. I tried switching to Open Office, and it works, but there are small quirks/ missing features, that make me miss Excel.

I was looking at purchasing Office, but I found the stand alone office 2021 for 1 PC is $150. An o365 subscription is $70/year, has extra features, and I could install it on up to 5 devices (I rarely use my laptop, but it could possibly come in handy)

I really hate the trend of software that requires a subscription. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this and found any ways to get discounts or other options I haven’t thought of.

I can link you the version I use, it’s pre cracked so works for life if that’s something you’re down for. Fuck the subscriptions they make enough

I used to use cracked windows & office, but it felt like windows would always start f-ing up, and I would have to reformat. That stopped after I eventually paid for windows, so I try not to use cracked apps anymore, but I might have to go that way. I appreciate you!

That’s a nice way of putting it… my comments generally had ‘more salt’… :wink:
Eventually I said “bugger it” and just used it. If you are not switching machines daily (as I was) you don’t see as many ‘warts’.
It is close enough to Excel I can use it, only once did it really mess up but I had a backup… TBH that might have been all my fault… :smirk:

Just buy a product key. You can Google whatever program and “product key” and you can find them almost anywhere for hella cheap. And it’s a real product key from some bulk corporate thing.

That does seem like a cheap way to scratch that itch. Awesome.

That is how I feel about Mac. lol
I do realize it applies to Windows, too. I am alright with Linux. The main detractor to me, has been that most of my Steam games dont have a Linux option.

It can really be that cheap. I wouldn’t endorse it if it didn’t work :+1:t2:
