Legally? No. You are circumventing the licensing model. Practically? WPS Office is a Chinese company that largely looks the other way regarding repacks because it drives market share away from Microsoft. But you are technically using a "cracked" product. The Verdict: Should you do it? If you are a corporate user handling sensitive client data? No. Stick to the official version or pay for the license (it’s only ~$30/year, which is a steal compared to Microsoft 365).

Let’s be honest: The modern office suite is a bloated mess.

If you are a home user, a student, or a tinkerer who is tired of ads interrupting your flow?

Microsoft Word now tries to sell me cloud storage while I’m just trying to indent a paragraph. LibreOffice, while noble, sometimes feels like it was designed in 2002 and left there. And then there’s WPS Office.
