My biggest complaint with software (especially with Microsoft and Adobe) is they keep changing the UI, necessitating relearning and crushing productivity.
I have a Microsoft 365 subscription but I won't get an Adobe account because I absolutely hate the changes to the Acrobat UI after Acrobat XI.
I may be wrong but here's my assessment: if Microsoft could easily and/or readily identify improperly used bulk keys they would shut them down and word would very quickly and without fail spread all over the internet and people would stop buying gray market keys and the problem would be once and for all solved. So I have to assume Microsoft can't easily and/or readily identify improperly used bulk keys, so they do nothing. And this is likely the reason that these types of keys continue to be sold year after year and are almost never revoked.
Yes these are scams but when you buy a licence from Microsoft for say, Office 2023, aren't you buying a Perpetual Licence for Office 2023 (only)?
Whew! Too much hassle for these old bones!. I'll just plunk down my $99 dollars a year for a Home subscription and be happy!

what if you buy a sealed office 2021 that comes with a DVD. I have seen them for about $50 and I assumed they are retail, but I do not know?
