Dont think they can, it’s a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through “grey” channels. There’s a whole writup on it.

Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn’t had an issue for 20 years, I’ll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate

Yea but i don’t like sync for privacy, ad, and pricing reasons right now.

All i want is a client that has posts as list mode and the ability to have different accounts with different settings and blocklists.

Connect is not the business for this, blocking one instance blocked it across all my accounts.

You can still buy liscenses for office. I just bought a key off a shady vendor for $30 and have a fully activated, non subscription office 2022
