I just found this on the web. It is available for PC and MacOS. I guess MicroSoft is seeing too much competition and trying to get people to stay with them.

One computer at a time. You can deactivate it and activate it on another one, but you can't have it on two (Desktop+Laptop) at the same time unless you get the two license deal. You won't get the 1TB storage on your one drive as you would with Office 365. Also, it isn't going to update to a newer version when available. I'm not saying it's a bad deal, but you should know the limitations.

I think I am going to take the deal.

Microsoft needing some Christmas Cash? I'll stick with Libre Office.

I was going to take the deal but it seems the deal isn't legit.

I personally use LibreOffice (Free - https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/) and it provides everything I need like word processing, spreadsheets, templates, etc.
It is also compatible with MS products. Also the layout and functions are very similar. I don't sell it, I'm just suggesting a Low/No cost alternative.
Whatever you choose . . .

This smells like a bad deal to me. The MS web site does not list this as available. I am guessing it is old stock of licenses and software that techspot needs to get rid of.

Please do a great amount of DD. You will find this is not what it appears to be.

They do state you can buy 2 licenses for 60 bucks.

It's not a scam...as I have found multiple sources offering the very same deal....and techspot.com has a 100% rating (good) as a non scam website.

Just saying...you can probably get this deal all over the place.

Unless you think nbc news is a scam...that is a debatable point...

I saw a similar ad. When I really dug into it, the fine print indicated that this was TRAINING software, not the real deal. Be careful of low cost deals. Usually a hitch in the deal.

Note the difference in license in the ad.

I have been using MS Office 1997 since . . . yeah, since then. Until I found MS Office 2003 a few years ago at the local Salvation Army store for less than $10. Have been using it since. I would be leery of getting an up-to-date version fearing I wouldn't be able to figure it out. BTW, it works fine for me, does what I want and need.

LibreOffice is considered by many to be the best of ALL the "Office" products, paid or free. I don't use them, but good sources of technical usage information for Word and Excel (not free) are "Word Tips" and "Excel Tips".
