Sarm Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This site: http://www.windows7keysstore.co.uk/ is offering MS keys very cheap, has anyone bought from them or able to confirm it's legit? These are even half the price of student discount, so I find it hard to consider it legit. Any thoughts please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DaveLegg Developer Posted July 21, 2012 Developer Share Posted July 21, 2012 Why would a UK store be selling things in dollars as the default? Basic mistake by the scammers there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ZeroFearX Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 They are probably MSDN keys. If I were you, I would stay out of this. Reselling MSDN keys is "illegal" and Microsoft have the ability to blacklist activation for all those keys. They are ways to get "activated" version of those products without paying a dime and in term of legally, it would be the same as buying those keys. Again, I assume they are MSDN keys and I might be completely wrong. This could just be a scam where you won't receive anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DJGM Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It's sites like windows7keysstore.co.uk that are the reason Microsoft are imposing more restrictions of how the product keys from Technet and MSDN accounts are used. For example, Technet subscribers now face having their existing product keys deactivated if their subscriptions lapse and are not renewed. All because of scumbag scammers such as this based in places like China (and sometimes also Russia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question

This site: http://www.windows7keysstore.co.uk/ is offering MS keys very cheap, has anyone bought from them or able to confirm it's legit?
These are even half the price of student discount, so I find it hard to consider it legit.
Any thoughts please?
