Quick turnaround on a business purchase

We use low cost software to buy the software for all the computers for our new employees in our business. We can’t afford paying for office 365 per employee each month due to being a small business so office 2016 makes the cost more affordable.

Awesome website!!!

I ordered windows 10 operating system as my laptop was previously running windows 7. Spoke to someone on the phone who talked me through the differences between windows 10 home and windows 10 pro. I went with windows 10 home as I wouldn’t utilise all the features of the pro version and couldn’t justify the price increase.

Was a little skeptical buying this…

Was a little skeptical buying this Mircosoft Software from Lowcostsoftwares as the website came across very scam like and you'll never see your money again.. but after refusing to pay the £119 quid price tag from the Microsoft's website i was pleasantly surprised it installed without any problems.

purchase of MS project

I am pleased with my purchase of Microsoft Project for my project management business. I have placed 2 calls to the company and each time received prompt, courteous & knowledgeable support. I spoke to Richard in tech support when I had issues installing on my desktop. He was very quickly able to determine the issue and told me how to resolve it.

Excellent price and customer service

Excellent price and customer service. I ordered a Windows 10 Professional license key from them. I received it to my email within 15 minutes, I had a techie issue so I contacted them via the live chat system on their website. There was no wait to talk to an agent and they quickly resolved my issue. Will definitely be buying from them in the future!

Purchased Windows 10 Home version

Got the license key within 30 minutes from ordering it and quickly upgraded my Windows 7 tower PC and the license key was activated without problems! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Keep up the good work.

Hi Nancy, unfortunately our prices are already at the lowest amount possible, if we decided to accept NUS we would have to increase our current prices. Edit - I can see you have gone ahead and purchased which is great :)

Hi Gavin, you have to follow the Microsoft Windows 10 Home installation instructions fully and ensure you select Windows 10 Home versus Windows 10 Professional.

I can see your order was fully refunded and the Windows 10 Home license key was deactivated following your full refund.

Hi Sam, our Office software for Mac sells out very fast due to our very competitive pricing on this product. Stock changes daily depending on demand which is very high currently especially for Mac, we can't control this unfortunately.

Update - 30/05/2019 = I can see you have now purchased which is great.

Apprehension totally misplaced

Having become increasingly wary of potential off-shore scams with several online companies gaining some very negative reviews, I was not totally convinced of Low Cost Software Ltd. However, my apprehension was totally misplaced, when my wife was able to successfully purchase, download and activate Office 2016 Professional from Low Cost Software in a process that took less than 30 minutes. Their site also includes tips on removing previously-loaded Office 365 was removed to prevent conflicts in use.

Had my doubts but for once, pleasantly surprised.

Had my doubts but e-mail with valid key came through instantly and downloaded and validated against my Microsoft account within 15 minutes.(You will need to create one if you don't already have one). I don't need the very latest package but I wanted the full suite for my new PC. £35 for full office 2016 suits me fine. It does come bundled with the odd package I didn't ask for like Candy Crush Saga and Spotify but I guess how that's they can afford this price. Just delete them if it bothers you. Happy, Thanks LCS.
