I should have checked Trustpilot prior to my purchase…

I should have checked Trustpilot prior to my Oct. 12 order from Licenses Direct for MSOffice Pro 2019 ($34.99). I previously ordered that software package from Licenses Direct in April 2020, and received prompt email support at that time to help me overcome some download glitches.

This time, however, the download link sent by Licenses Direct immediately triggered Windows Defender "severe" virus threat warnings that prevented the download no matter what I did. My OS is Windows 10 Pro, same as for the April 2020 successful download on a different PC.

The current integrity of Licenses Direct was further cast in doubt this time when they repeatedly failed to respond to any of my emails, including those requesting a refund. They were quick to immediately charge my credit card on Oct. 12, so they're capable of acting quickly when it benefits them. I've referred the charges for dispute resolution through my financial institution.

Windows Defender and Security suite is not the problem, because the same software was purchased (from Brytesoft) and successfully downloaded today on the same PC.

SCAM - do not buy here

SCAM - do not use this company. Thought I was buying a licence for MS Office but code does not work and no response on their mobile phone number or to emails.
Company is owned by a 21 year old Romanian called Cosmin Aurel Savenco and it was only set up in August 2019. He has been reported for theft and wrongful trading as a result of this transaction.
Also their address at Kemp House, City Road in London is just a serviced office with thousands of companies registered there.

STAY AWAY - ITS A CON - NO REPLIES

I have left 1 star as unable to leave zero.
Before lockdown I purchased 5x Office 2019, the payment has been taken and nothing supplied. I have tried to deal with this directly but get no reply so they leave me no option than to try and warn others

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.
I bought Microsoft Office Pro. on line.
As I was downloading my Norton 360 kicked in and eliminated the download indicating it would harm my computer.
Requested return on money in accordance with Trade Descriptions and sale of goods act. No reply.
Am having to complain to Bank seeking to recover money.

I purchased Office 2019 Professional…

I purchased Office 2019 Professional Plus for 5 users on this site and have only been able to install the software on 2 PCs. When I contact them using their online chat or message facility on their website, they never respond, and they never have anyone to answer the call either. Don't buy from this company.

Do not buy from this company

Do not buy, it is a Scam. On 16th Sept I purchased Office 2019 Professional Plus. The price seemed too good to be true, it was. I received an email with with a License Key, a Link to perform the download and Instructions of how to proceed. Note, the first instruction is to uninstall Office 2010! The link doesn't work so tried other Microsoft download sites but all came up with Error code "Token not found" Tried to contact the company by their "Chat", Phone and Email. Nobody is available on "Chat" or the phone and there is no reply to messages. Spoke to a professional who believes anything using the google drive downloader is suspect. Luckily I was able to reinstall Office 2010 from my disc and will now buy at the proper price from a well known reputable company.
29th Sept 2020. After reporting to Norton yesterday they notified me that company has been reevaluated. See their safeweb. Entry now with pink background and exclamation mark in a red blob at the side. Result!

I had to put one star on here in order…

I had to put one star on here in order to write a review but this company does not deserve any stars! This a con please do not buy from this company. I purchased a bundle of 5 x License keys to which none are working. I have tried emailing, Calling and their website "Live" chat which again does not seem to work! I have reported this company to Trading Standards as I think it's disgusting to con people out of money, how they can still be trading is minf blowing! Absolutly vile!

I purchased Office 19 last week and received the download as promised, unfortunately it didn't work.

Waited ages for false product code for Office…

Waited ages for product code for Office 2019 which, after many complaints, was sent but only gave me 1 out 7 programmes that worked.
Raised the problem but have not received a response. Will raise this with the Fraud Office if I don't hear from the supplier
