A less painful solution to Microsoft greed and their "bait & switch" tactic.

"Wayback when Microsoft was eager to have users adopt new versions of Windows, you could "piggy back" the new version on the digital license secured with the earlier version. In September or October 2024, Microsoft decided that Windows 11 licenses tied to an earlier version would not remain activated and could not be reactivated. I noted this when updating my Win 11 Pro to 23H2. Microsoft CSR was unwilling or unable to help, and simply babbled on reading from a script. The retail charge for a Win 11 Pro license was $200. Fortunately, I stumbled across Softwarekeep and was able to get the required product key for about 1/3 of that. I had some concerns, but got excellent info very promptly in a chat with Daniel who satisfied my curiosity. Spent the money and it all worked out quite well. As far as MS is concerned, does anybody smell a class action suit? This whole affair smacks of underhandedness and a bait & switch years in the making. Shame on you, Microsoft. "

“Hello Valued Customer,

We are sorry to hear about your recent negative experience with our company, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We strive to ensure the utmost satisfaction of our customers, and we take your concerns seriously.

After carefully reviewing our support records, we were able to locate one email message from you to which we did respond requesting additional information to assist you. However, we never heard back from you after, instead we were left with your review. We value effective communication and strive to provide prompt assistance to our customers, so it's unfortunate that we didn't get that chance to further assist you.

Regarding the concern raised, our deployment system only sends license codes as ordered by our valued customers on the website. In your case, our team went above and beyond to enhance your order by upgrading it from Office 2021 Home and Student for Windows to Office 2021 Professional Plus for Windows at no additional charge.

As clearly indicated on our website and in the email you received upon purchase, our policy explicitly states that once a license code has been redeemed and bound to an account, it becomes non-refundable. This policy is in place to ensure fair and consistent treatment for all our customers. Additionally, I would like to highlight that the product description and terms clearly state that the license code you purchased is only compatible with Windows and not for Macs. We make every effort to provide accurate and transparent information regarding compatibility to prevent any inconvenience to our customers.

I understand that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused. However, I assure you that our policies are in place to maintain fairness and integrity for all customers.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. We are here to assist you and provide any additional information you may require.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We value your business and appreciate your support.



Kind regards,

SoftwareKeep

I had to call Microsoft support

"I would give you a failing grade. But I believe it’s something you can fix. I typed in the code that was sent to me via email, but something went wrong and when I try to use the same code again, I got a prompt that stated it had already been used. So I had to call Microsoft support. Thank God they were able to help me, but you were no use. I should’ve gone through Microsoft in the first place.

This company is more interested in good reviews that fixing the problems with their service. They are actually liars as well. 2 days after I was asked for a review and gave them a bad one they sent me another email that asked if I would change my review because as they state "We’ve worked with you a bit on the issue and we’re hoping you’re satisfied with the outcome." No one contacted me. There was no interaction with them but they say we worked with me.

Oh and the best. After righting a low rated review a pop up asks you "You have rated Softwarekeep.com poorly, are you sure you would like to continue with your submission?" What? Are you asking me to reconsider saying something negative? Who ever runs this department should be fired.

“Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate hearing from our customers, even when the experience doesn't meet their expectations. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and would like to address your concerns.

After carefully reviewing our support email records, we were unable to locate any correspondence from your email address. There where no phone call records in our system from your phone number as well of you calling in to request assistance. We value effective communication and strive to provide prompt assistance to our customers, so it's unfortunate that we didn't receive your message. We tried reaching out multiple times after reading your review to no avail and when we finally did, the call was dropped.

We see you successfully bound the license code we sent for this purchase to your Microsoft account and we are glad Microsoft was able to assist you with the download and installation of the software. We would also like to mention that our team went above and beyond to enhance your order by upgrading it at no additional charge to Office 2021 Home and Business for Mac from the Office 2021 Home and Student for Mac you ordered. We hope this unexpected upgrade added value to your overall experience. It's essential to us that our customers feel satisfied with their purchases, and we take pride in delivering exceptional service whenever possible.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you further and regain your trust in our services.



Best regards,

"I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Softwarekeep's customer support team. From start to finish, their support exceeded my expectations. I reached out to their support team regarding the incorrect license of a Microsoft product I had just purchased. The response time was impressively quick, and the support representative, Daniel, immediately took charge of the situation. He carefully listened to my concerns, asked clarifying questions, and walked me through the entire process of resolving the issue. "
