A seller in the UK has retail media for -

Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019 / PC / DVD

BTS--14251625-MSIN

32-BIT/X64 ENGLISH APAC EM DVD

SKU-T5D-03249

The seller says -

'This is the non region specific version so will work anywhere.'

Is this correct will it activate/work OK in the UK?

    Been onto Microsoft and asked them about it, activation may be a problem in the future due to the media being assigned to the Asian market. Though they didn't say it would definitely be a problem.

    Anyway based on that I have now bought a copy definitely assigned to my region T5D-03216

    Obviously being euro zone there is no disc just the product key inside.

    Anyway thanks for the help

While I feel the items are legit, I do not believe the bit about the seller telling me they are truly region free.

    Office is region specific

    What the seller shows, product code wise is meaningless

    You have failed to provide the url of the site used

    It may well indicate xx have been sold with no negative but that doesn't mean its true

    If you want to lose your money, go ahead

    I'm not so sure on that. If you look it IS sold as a DVD, check the code out. Yes in the UK we can't get them and Yes in most of the world you can't get them. But this version would appear to come from India where there is a DVD version and the codes on this packaging match.

    I see that 35 of these have been sold over a 6 months period with no negative feedback.

    So the real question is it truly region free or will you need to use a vpn to activate?
