when I did that a couple of months back, the system fail to register office 2013 as the default program for all my documents. other than that, I don't see other problems with it.

Those who wants to buy the keys, buy them at your own risk!

MS can always invalidate any keys as and when they like. I've once illegally obtained a MS project 2010 key, successfully activated it, only for it to be invalidated few months later.

(btw, i've bought a few $5 keys as well, but i'm not selling any since i don't think it's right to do so)

A downside is that whenever you want to run the older 2010 edition, there will be a configuration process that take a minute to finish. Slightly annoying.

That is a common problem with dual installations. Windows and office work from the base assumption that there is no reason to have more than one version of office installed. Therefore, each time you start an app that is a different version than currently active in the registry, it must mean you just installed it and obviously want to replace the currently installed one. WRONG. The fix is a simple registry "hack".

I just activated my H&S successfully.
I did not receive any refund email and my product keys are still in my Microsoft Store account. The installation links in the account do not work for me.

1. Go to Download, Backup & Restore Microsoft Office Products - Office.com

2. Under "My copy of Office did not come with a disk", click the link just under "Getting Started".

3. Enter your product key.

4. Verify Country and Language.

5. Create or login to existing Microsoft account.

6. Click Install, the click-to-run installer will be downloaded.
(If you want to install 64-bit version, click Additional Install
Options, and change to 64-bit)

7. Run the Installer. (The installer cannot be customized, i.e. cannot choose which folder to install to and cannot choose which programs to install)

Great. /10chars
