Offer appreciated, but the product key is tied up to the original MS account used / created when Office was installed is it not?

I'm aware that 2019 is available - £420 a pop for Professional. While the price is hefty, as said it's the preference for 2013 that's driving the query, not the price.

I wouldn't download from a random source - I would be expecting a key that would be valid via the normal office.com/setup route.
The prices suggest to me that these products are most likely illegal, but I find it hard to fathom that some of these resellers have been pedalling these products for years, without interruption & that while I know plenty that have gone down this route I don't know anyone that has had any issue. It seems to me that the MS licencing police either don't exist or don't care.
Thanks all.
