Never understand why it is cheaper to buy this each year than it is to continue the subscription.

OneDrive 1 TB storage for 5 people, wow that’s great!!! With the latest office (2016 at the time of writing this review, freely upgradable to the latest version available) and the free Skype calls, this is a fantastic offer. I used to be Dropbox user, OneDrive was struggling to catch up with Dropbox for a long time, but now the OneDrive is definitely ahead of Dropbox. With latest office and free Skype calls it’s even better.

What’s not to like? And it means that I don’t have auto-renewal on the M$ site. Perfect.

What is not to like. Buy the product, click a few links and your Microsoft Account is updated. I worry every year that there is going to be a glitch and it always works right first time. Actually impressed by the keyforrest delivery mechanism.

Good value and easy to use.

This is everything I needed for my home laptop…although I wish Microsoft could explain what you get with your five devices a little clearer…and also how to add Visio…still 5 stars…

This is the 6th time I have ordered this through keyforrest going back yearly since 2014 and each time it works flawlessly. I have Office installed on 2 or 3 computers but having access to 6TB of cloud storage is the big draw for me, providing ample space to store backups etc.A lot of people are complaining that although it says it’s for 6 computers the code only works on one. Let me quickly explain that is actually correct and what is meant to happen. It’s not like the older Office products where you stick the CD in and install it providing a license key each time. The code supplied is effectively a voucher redeem code, not a reusable activation key. If this is the first time you have purchased Office 365 then you need to create an account via the Office.com website (Hotmail / Outlook.com work if you already have one)Once you are logged into Office.com you can use the code provided with this purchase to redeem Office for a 12 month period. Once you have done this the code is dead and no longer usable . To install this on either one or more computer simply log into Office.com on the computer you want to install it on and then click the button that says “Install Office”. It’s as simple as that and will fully activated for you.If you have a subscription already that is about to expire so this is a purchase to renew it then the process is even shorter!Again log into Office.com, click My Account, Click subscriptions and then “Redeem code / Voucher”Pop in the product Key provided and hey presto your subscription will be renewed. Simple as.I hope this review helps people solve any issues with this, luckily for me I’ve worked in IT for about 15+ years so it’s second nature.

Have used Microsoft apps/ 365 family over time and I find it excellent for my needs.I bought from keyforrest due to the price being well below that of Microsoft which is also a good reason not to continue a rollover subscription via Microsoft.

You are sent an email with access to the code you need to renew your years subscription. This code is stored in your keyforrest account. Once on your laptop try and open word and it will ask you to renew. Click on this and follow the instructions from there. Make sure you have your email and password to your Microsoft office account handy as you will need them. You will obviously need the purchased code too! It was really easy to do.

I’ve been buying subscription codes for Microsoft Office in its various incarnations through keyforrest for years, and never had any issues. This year though it’s been re-christened Microsoft Family 365 and, for the first time I can recall seeing it, keyforrest’s product description states that “each user can install on 1 PC or Mac, 1 tablet or iPad and 1 mobile phone (Windows, iOS, Android).” This concerned me as I use Office on a MacBook (laptop) and an Imac (desktop computer) – which would therefore count as 2 Macs. If I bought via keyforrest would I lose functionality on one? Did I need to buy direct from Microsoft (and pay about £25 more) in order to continue using Office on both computers? None of the reviews seemed to address the issue.I contacted Microsoft to query the situation. I was advised that you get the same software no matter where you buy your code from and that each user has 5 installs to use as they chose. If you buy from Microsoft they can trace your activation key should you lose it – which is, apparently, partly why you pay more buying direct.A few days before my subscription was due to run out keyforrest included the software in an Early Black Friday deal – making it roughly half the price Microsoft were charging. I bought an emailed code, received it a few minutes later and had renewed my subscription less than 10 minutes after that. (For anyone worried by reviews saying it’s difficult to input the code – sign into your Microsoft account, click Microsoft Family 365 in the box labelled Subscriptions, click Manage. Under Payment Settings there’s an option to ‘Redeem a card or code’. Enter the code (you can copy and paste) and you’re done.)My old subscription expired a few days ago and I still have full Office functionality on all the computers I use. Nothing has changed and the move from one year’s subscription to the next has been seamless.

Code appeared within a couple of minutes of purchase. I already had a Microsoft account so I just needed to enter the code. I was able to use the software within minutes. A lot cheaper than buying from Microsoft and easy to install. Will purchase again.

Although I have used Office for many years, there are a number of new additions, some of which I have not yet tried, but I know how useful they can be.
Yorkshire Proud –
Excellent software.Apple code took a long time to come through

I know I have to pay every year, but it is good to get the full set of MS Office programs, and to provide a copy to my grandson with ease. A family investment. Using Libre Office and the like is OK, but they don’t seem to have mastered, for, example, Powerpoint, so when others send me their presentations, they don’t work well.
Roy Fallon –
I have this product installed on my IMac, my PC and 3 of our laptops.It is a great product but the main issue is that it constantly requires me to log in without any apparent reason. Other than that I think it is great value for money.

Very straightforward , from ordering online and the guidance through the set up, could not be easier, just a matter of minutes, very pleased and much more economical than buying from Microsoft Direct.

Software OK – However Microsoft still gives subscription warnings when you use a third party seller – Ended up having to delete all the licences and reinstalling

I’ve been an Office 365 subscriber for some time having got a cheap deal through work. That said, 15 months for 50 quid worked out as an even better deal.On purchasing I received the code through my keyforrest account in seconds. I then logged in to my Microsoft account, managed my subscription and added the key, the only annoying thing is that you can’t copy and paste the whole key at once, you have to do each segment individually, hardly a major hardship though. I then got instant confirmation that my next billing isn’t until February 2023.I already had repeat billing on, so didn’t experience any problems, but as many others have said, set that up and you’re laughing.

This was such a good deal that we couldn’t miss out on! Put this on two laptops in the space of 5 minutes so literally super easy, keyforrest send you a couple emails to follow x

Dr SINNAPPA P GUNASEKARAN –
very good offer and easy to get ; could be offered for a cheaper price, many people do not want to use on 5 computers. I think this is a businees tactic to get more from customers after a year!
Mr. Pigdog –
Perfect way to extend my Office subscription. Just go to the link offered in the email, sign in and it’s done.

Steven R Kemp –
I’ve debated going over to a subscription service for some time as opposed to buying the office package outright. What finally swayed it for me was the offer of 1Tb storage for each of (up to) 5 users. Also Microsoft have recently announced that OneDrive storage for Office 365 users will be unlimited. Ideal for backing up all my photographs.The download and installation of the Office suite was simple and painless and only took a few minutes. As with the standalone office package you have all the regular components. It is also very easy to deactivate an installation and move it to another machine should you wish to.You also get 60 Skype minutes per month (but I haven’t used that as yet).Microsoft offer this for about £80 per year but I found keyforrest cheaper at just over £60 per year. For me this is good value for the unlimited storage and the Office software is a bonus.

UPDATED:Just grabbed another 2 subscription for 15 month working out at 40% of the Microsoft monthly fee. I’m subscribed until April 2024 now!. Been a subscriber to Office 365, now Microsoft 365 for years, paying the monthly subscription. Have always been tempted by Microsofts yearly subscription fee that saves you over 15%, however getting this yearly sub whilst on offer at keyforrest has saved me over 50% on what I would pay monthly – simple no brainer.Not sure why other reviers complain of being unable to find code, just click the link in the order email to go to “Your games and software Library”, the code is clearly visible within the Microsoft 365 listing in your library, copy this, head over to your microsoft account and manage your subscriptions. Theres an option to redeem code/voucher, just follow the link, paste in the code, hit next a few times and its done.I always found the monlthy fee good value for money for the amount of apps and storage you get, and to get the same for half the price is fantastic.

My subscription was due to expire in a months time so I purchased this and clicked through after purchase, signed into my existing account and it added 12 months to my existing subscription. Saved money on the price I would have had to pay if I had renewed through Microsoft.

Read all communications carefully, but it’s easy to activate. From there on in, you must research Office 365 if you have kids at can help shield/protect them online. Have now bought two of these one for my family and one for friends family (who have kids)
Qasim –
I was sceptical on buying this from keyforrest, with some of the previous reviews on the difficulty of installing it, but I managed to install it easily without hassle. Bought on offer for £48.99, cheaper than previous offers on keyforrest and also Microsoft itself. I highly recommend it, as it was delivered via email instantly and I can confirm you get 6 licences as promoted as I have 5 invites showing as remaining after first initial install.

I’m not very tech savy, so I worried at first about installing it, but it was soooooo simple. I just clicked the link which was sent to my email address, it was really straightforward.
