Highly recommended. Friendly, open and honest, always happy to advise whether you purchase one item, many items, or just have questions. Never any pressure to buy. Great products too.

As always, whether receiving free or purchased software, the service is great. Response times are short and the friendly replies are a welcome change from the norm. I highly recomend Key Software !

Excellent customer service

Some time ago I purchased some software on a memory stick. When I recently came to actually use it, I found that the software was corrupt. I queried this with Key, who unhesitatingly sent me the necessary information to flash a new copy of the software onto the memory stick - which then worked perfectly.
Random failures are unavoidable, but their response to this was exceptional!

Simon is really helpful with queries and provides excellent software at good prices. His willingness to provide backup support is very reassuring, much better than the hopeless chat bots provided by other software providers.

Ordered a copy of Windows 11 Pro with activation key via download function but the key would not work. Finally discovered the key was for Windows 7 Pro and not Windows 11 Pro. Have sent messagews and email but still no response after a week. Never had any problems before but I guess this means they don't want my patronage anymore so I will move on and get my bank involved for a refund.

Upgrading my computer to Windows 11 Pro.

Wanted to upgrade my computer to Windows 11 Pro and purchased this on a USB from Key Software. I was unable to load this so wrote to customer service. Simon replied and gave me a step by step list of how to load it. I was then unable to activate this due to Microsoft. I wrote back to Simon who informed me how it could be done. Could not be happier with the service received from Simon and Key Software. John.

Don't buy from them if you are desperate for software

I've bought quite a few item from this shop over the years and all been good until i stopped buying software on dvd or USB drive. They aim to support you 24/7 as it is stated on the website, but I had a reply from them after 3-4 days. That time I thought they might had something issue or.. etc, etc, etc. With my next purchase I had a reply after 10(!!!!) days! Eventually I asked for my money back (don't think they refund me). 3rd time windows 11 wasn't genuine (message from Microsoft pops up) and again they replied 2-3 days later (do you still remember, they aim to support you 24/7?). Asked for refund and had nothing until asked my bank to step forward. Eventually I've bought my stuff from officeAndWindows who actually supporting you 24/7!

Bought the windows 11pro dvd then realised I needed the tiny 64gb usb drive. When I contacted Key-Software not a problem a replacement was dispatched rapidly, however the activation number was not recognised, a problem with Microsoft activation centre, Key- software e mailed me instructions to activate the software, and boom I was up and running, never disappointed with the software or the service received, Good Work folks :)

I purchased ' 14,000 woodwork plans' and requested it on a usb drive as I don't have a Dvd player. Key software sent me a Dvd. This arrived 1 week ago. I have emailed numberous times and got not reply, Used their contact page again no reply, the mobile number is continously on answer machine. Don't know how the people writing reviews on here got good customer service as I can't, thet won't even acknowledge me. Won't be buying off these cowboys again. Key software finally contacted me and dispatched a new usb drive. Not tested it yet but very pleased with customer service, even if a little late.
