Is Euro Software legit for MS Office purchase?

A

aadler2244atmsn

I found a website that is offering downloads of MS Office Pro 2007 for only
$69.95. (and similarly low prices on other products) Is this legitimate?
Will I have a valid, supported version if I buy this? Or is this some kind
of scam? Their address is NYC, but their grammar is not quite American. The
web site is: http://software-4-you.com/item/?id=1965

I've been out of work for a while and can use the low price, but I don't
want to end up with pirated software or someone stealing my identity.

No it is not legit. You need to buy from Microsoft Website or from
Amazon. all others are dodgy and they are selling dodgy software.

Remember what your parents told you, if is sounds too good to be true, it
probably is. No legitiamte sites except for those authorized by Microsoft
(Digital River, Dell, Etc.) offer software for download, and especially =
for that sort of price. Trust your instincts.

If you can't afford MS Office, then use Open Office. O any older version of
Office you may own.

there is another way to get office07 without the price tag. Go to you
internet search, mine is mozilla and type in mininova and then downloa
the utorrent. In the mininova search go to categories and go t
software. open and type in 07 and see what u come up with. it works an
before you download anything read the comments from other people to se
if it is safe. Hope it helps, it did for me

World Software/Euro Software is a scam site:

http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php/Euro_Software

I ordered "RadioShift" for macs software from them. The retail was $2
and they had it for $19 - I ordered it (they added a $6.50 "transactio
fee" and sent me a zipped file with the following Read Me file:


1. extract archive "Radioshift.zip"

2. install and use this info
Name: Anak Sholeh
Code: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (x'd out by me)

3. If program ask to online registration, click "No" or "Skip". Yo
dont need online register.
All update are available.

****
1. It's an old version
2. It's NOT my name
3. When you do update to the current version, the software is rendere
unusable.

These sites are scams & thieves!

http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php/Euro_Software

Who knows what they are trying to do with my credit card number now
Yes, I have called my Visa Card bank - and reported the software thef
to the software creators

Yes it is. i bought Windows 7, and Office 2010. I had some problems "activating" and "verifying" that these were legitimate products and Eurosoft provided me with a different "Product Key" and this was cleared up.
I still have not been able to Verify the Office package but that is a Microsoft issue. I was getting an error message saying that I did not have a legitimate Microsoft product and was quite worried. After 6 phone calls and/or on line chats with Microsoft, I was finally told it is a Microsoft issue.
I did contact Eurosoft at the time when I had these issues and they were helpful and wanted me to send them the details of the error messages and the results.
The Microsoft tech's were useless! I told them it was Office 2010 and they kept giving me instructions for past versions of Office, they did not know the product or how to navigate through it. That was very frustrating.
The Eurosoft price was great! I caught a 50% off sale and got Windows7, Office 2010, ACDSee and a utility program for $150 (approx)US. The Office program I had purchased was not 2010 and MS was offering a free upgraded for purcheses between certain dates and ES gave me the free upgrade.
I too was leary but I am very happy with them. Truth is, they are ahead of MS who now also only provides a product key. I'm more afraid of Microsoft!!!!!!

I'm sorry but you are wrong. The software is completely legit and it is sold the same way that HP gives it with new systems. This was verified for me by Microsoft directly. It is totally valid and genuine!!!! Eurosoft purchases volume licenses and sell the programs individually.

As I said, Microsoft is the crook here. Even if you buy the product through them, their techs do not know the product at all and cannot help you.....their solution to you loosing the key, buy another full version!

I am completely satisfied with my programs and they are registered in my name and I get all updates from MS.
