Office activation key
Good evening, do you know how to tell if your Office product has a cracked activation key?
I bought an Office Pro Plus 2021 key on Cdiscount for 5 euros.
It's the Les Numériques site that referred me to this seller.
I downloaded Office, entered the key and it works.
But can someone else use the same key as me, and then in a month will I get an error message saying it has already been used?
I bought another key. Is there a way to verify it?
Thank you

Hello,
Basically, there are Retail licenses (at €5, don't get your hopes up), OEM licenses (which are tolerated in the European Economic Area following a court ruling) and volume licenses (KMS or MAK).
The latter are periodically checked on a server (if I remember correctly, every 180 days) to verify if this volume license, issued by an establishment or organization, is still valid.
If not, the activation will be canceled; but we can start again with another license and, for €5, we won't have been cheated.
