I'm looking into purchasing an MS Office license and have a few questions about it. The product description states that it's a 'perpetual license.' Does this mean I only need to pay once and won't have any monthly or yearly subscription fees? Also, will I be able to download Word, Excel, and PowerPoint onto my laptop, or is it just an upgrade? If I change computers, can I deactivate the license on the old one and transfer it to the new one without having to buy another license? Lastly, the product is listed as downloadable for Windows PCs—does this also include Windows laptops? Sorry if these questions seem obvious, but I can't reach the seller before placing my order, and since it's a digital download, I'm concerned about not being able to get a refund if it doesn't meet my expectations. Thanks for your help!

I've never heard of that site. That discount is really steep! And I’m curious about all the positive reviews for their support service. Sounds suspicious if people frequently have to reach out for new keys because the originals are blocked.
A perpetual license means it lasts forever. But honestly, the price seems suspect; I'm not convinced it's a legit retail key.
Just to clarify, here’s the seller's site if you're curious: [acstechsystems.ca](https://www.acstechsystems.ca/)
Once you buy the license, it gets tied to a Microsoft account. You can then download it onto any computer and activate it by logging into that account.
Typically, these licenses are priced around $150 to $200 at retail. This seems too good to be true. Often, such licenses come from bankrupt entities and get blocked by Microsoft soon after they're activated.
I get you, but it's labeled as a Boxing Day deal with a huge discount. Plus, it's from Best Buy—maybe they only sell legitimate products.
