Looks like my Microsoft Office 365 subscription has run out. I am now restricted to 15GB email space , and I am over the limit, so new emails are not coming through.
I can renew the yearly subscription at £79.99 ( usually buy in Argos at £50 inc some bundled Anti Virus - but they are priced at £79.99 too)
I have googled online and there are several resellers offering it various cheaper prices, including one that will sell licence for Office 2021 professional for £34.
Are these legitimate ,and if so , how do they sell it so cheap ? It is MSSoftware.co.uk

I have one in the cupboard (from Argos - 6 user Family subscription) that I'll sell you at cost £49.99. My current one won't expire for quite a while yet I have a HUKD alert setup to tell me when Argos is selling them cheap. DM me if you're interested and we'll sort something out.

The offie2021 won't help as that is only the software and it is the online component you need as well

Is it 365 Personal or Family you need? Amazon has 15 months of Family for £55 and Groupon has Personal for £35.

How have you filled 15GB with email?

How have you filled 15GB with email?

I keep all my old emails from jobs we are working on. I could probably download all the attachments and emails etc, but it is handy to be able to access them from wherever , whenever.
For example I had a request for some info on a design of a frame we did 3 years ago , as they want to change the use of an area.
Rather than sift through various areas, I just went to the original email from the engineer.
There are probably better ways of doing similar things, but this seems most convenient to me.

No idea about highly discounted O365 subscriptions but

including one that will sell licence for Office 2021 professional for £34.
Are these legitimate

No they aren't, usually they'll be volume licence keys from enterprise agreements (or OEM licences with no transfer rights) - at best you'll just be using it against the t&c (the chances of MS or FAST actually taking legal action against you would be vanishingly small though) at worst MS will discover the key leak and deactivate it (potentially leading to your installed Office 2021 copy deactivating).
