I need Office 365 subscription for our Xiaomi Pad 5

I found some lifetime subscriptions for just Rs.500. Is this real since I heard Office 365 is per month/year subscription based product. ? How they giving LIFETIME licence ?

How is there lifetime validity for offlice 365. even if its stolen, office 365 licenses are typically yearly (you can chain activate to increase total years).

Is this some illusive key we need to pursue :D Lifetime cloud storage is OP af.

Dont get into such scams. Not only you risk the amount you spend purchasing it you also risk compromising your credit card details.

Probably some corporate office 365 key supposed to be given to company employees hence the lifetime subscription until the key is blacklisted.

DO NOT buy Office 365 from grey market or black market.

Office 2021 Pro plus - last I heard its grey market retail key price was around 1.5k. These are lifetime & gets attached to your MS account.

O365 with 5 other people in family plan will cost 1k per person if you buy legit. That is the way if you want cloud storage. Beware, Onedrive is not as good as GDrive for syncing multiple folders from your PC. Files inside onedrive folder don't behave well sometimes, so I don't like keeping my files inside it.

Its always 1 year. But you can buy and activate multiple times to add years into your expiry.

I think MS Office has lifetime validity license BUT its not lifetime upgrade. So basically you end with this Office VERSION for lifetime - officially. You will security updates but not version upgrades.

MS can never give you 5 TB for storage for Rs 498. You can try grey market office keys but stolen keys get deactivated sometime if the original owner of the keys raise a dispute with MS.

Obviously no. Per year 1k per person, if you have 6 members in total. Everyone gets their own 1TB storage.

Remember, you can make a shared folder with read write access with multiple email ids, and access shared folder on 1 email account to have a hacky way of having 6 TB total space from one place.

I have NAS sync set up, like that with several nas only email ids, but in my PC, I have RaiDrive set up with only single email.
Btw @omega44-xt try RaiDrive sync, it mounts onedrive as a folder. Might be useful for you.

If Raidrive mounts Onedrive folder like USB, then I assume Windows backup & sync will work with it? Using backup & sync to sync my folders to ext HDD for backup.

I assume the Onedrive will still take space somewhere on my PC's storage, I might just have to keep 2 copies of my files. Just worth 200+ GB for now, docs & pics. Still will be a good solution.

Im not sure about using both raidrive and backup and sync together, because both do similar functionality.

Primary reason im using raidrive is, I dont want to have local copies of all the files from my one drive. I would prefer, it to be downloaded and cached whenever I access it.
But give it a try, I might not understand ur usecase properly but the app is pretty good, and is a freeware. (but has ads in it's ui page which i can live with)

@omega44-xt how to get that 1k per year subscription for office 365 ?
*www.amazon.in/hfc/bill/subscriptions?billerid=GV000DV00MCS01

6 users pack available for around 5k so share with 5 other users for per user cost around 850.

I bought it and activated it. Both Office 365 and Onedrive working. They told it it blacklisted before a year, they provide another key. It's some kind of "rganization account subscription"

Okay. I bought it for just Rs. 500. Let me use it

Just have a backup of your data. If blacklisted, you don't want it to be an "expensive lesson".
Btw, it's will buy* (not bought).

Not at all safe. Value your data. I won't upload any form of data to shady places, including a shady organisation's MS or Google business accounts.

I just type few lines and AI did the rest
It started with a simple search for Netflix subscriptions on eBay, and I stumbled upon a seller who had the perfect offer - a lifelong subscription with auto-renewals and instant new code if your subscription got suspended. I was intrigued and bought one immediately, paying through PayPal.

The first few weeks went smoothly, and I was happy with my purchase. However, after a month or so, my subscription got suspended, and the seller stopped responding to my messages. I quickly opened a dispute with PayPal, and they resolved it in my favor, refunding the entire amount.

At first, I thought it was just a one-off issue, so I went ahead and bought another subscription from a different seller. This time, it lasted only two weeks before getting suspended. I realized that I had fallen prey to a classic scam - buying fake Netflix subscriptions on eBay.

But I was determined not to give up and continued to buy subscriptions from different sellers. With each purchase, I felt more and more frustrated, as they all turned out to be fraudulent. But thanks to PayPal's buyer protection program, I was able to get my money back every time.

However, after the sixth attempt, I had an epiphany. I finally realized that by repeatedly buying these fake subscriptions, I was not only wasting my own time and resources but also contributing to encouraging fraudulent activities on eBay. I felt guilty and ashamed of myself.

So, I decided to stop buying these fake subscriptions and instead chose to pay for a genuine Netflix subscription. It was more expensive, but at least I could watch my favorite shows without worrying about getting scammed.

In conclusion, getting infected with Netflix syndrome and buying fake subscriptions on eBay was a lesson learned the hard way. But I'm glad that I realized my mistake and made a conscious decision to stop encouraging fraudulent activities

I bought from the above same guy who used to sell via shop clues in 2018. I bought in 2019 1 Win10 key then 2 keys for Win10 in 2022-23 from his site. All keys are now registered with my MS account and although I changed my mobos 3 times since 2019 since the keys are registered with the MS account its still working. My kids MSI Laptop is the one using the key bought in 2019. This MSI laptop was in Mandarin and changed it to English very difficultly & clean installed Win10 in it.
RajeshAntony when you open your MS account it asks for MS Authenticator since I use it then see the devices connected to the MS account. In the main page of the account itself it shows what kind of Subscription you have for Office365. Just check it once.
I also bought MS Office 2019 key from him and using it with my kids Win10. This guy comes to WhatsApp chat and helps you if you need any help.
