A note on cheap Office and Windows keys

Around Black Friday you'll see very low prices on Microsoft Office and Windows keys. We leave those out because we can't verify them with Microsoft, and keys from unknown sellers can stop working later.

The safe places to buy are the maker's own site, the Microsoft Store, or a retailer the maker lists as a partner.

What to check in a Windows licence

  • How many PCs it covers, and whether you can move it to a new PC.
  • Whether updates to the next major version are included.
  • Whether it also covers macOS or Linux, which some cross-platform tools do.

Black Friday 2026: the key dates

The main weekend is short, but software sales spread well beyond it. Most makers announce their offer in the two weeks before Black Friday, and many keep it running until Cyber Monday ends.

Tip: If a deal you want already states its price and end date, buying early rarely costs you anything. The bigger risk is forgetting.

How we check these deals

Every deal here comes from the maker, the maker's own website or store listing, or a public community list, and we check it against the maker's site before it goes live. Terms are quoted as the maker wrote them, with a link to where we found them.

We don't invent discounts or guess end dates. If a percentage isn't stated, we only show one when the maker gives both the old and the new price. Prices can change, so confirm the final price at checkout.

Questions people ask

How can I tell if a Black Friday discount is real?

Compare the deal price with the price the app normally sells for on its own site, not with the list price shown by a reseller. Very large percentages on a reseller page often start from a list price almost nobody pays.

Does a licence cover more than one PC?

It depends on the product. Check the device limit in the terms before you buy.

When is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is Monday, November 30. Many software deals start earlier and some run into December.

Deals are checked against each maker's own site and quoted as written. Last checked November 5, 2026. Prices can change, so confirm the final price at checkout.
