It's for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

key resellers have office 2021 pro plus (the non subscription one) for $30.00ish (earlier versions are even cheaper) and that is what I recommend if you absolutely have to get office.
imho between the two options, the more ethical is to pirate rather than supporting a shady key reseller. Anyway microsoft gets the exact same amount of money either if you purchase a stolen key from msdn or you install a pirated copy activated via mas
Considering the grey market is filled with dodgy keys, it'd be better to just pirate, especially when there are easy and safe ways to do it like with MAS
I've bought gray market keys for years without an issue. Also, good key sellers have money back guarantees
Good resellers do, but I think my point still stands - why risk any of that when Microsoft doesn't get your money either way?
MAS/Massgrave works effectively, is open source, is well-documented, and literally free.
Just found out about that today thanks
