License Keys

Really shouldn't point out the fact that you are probably doing one of 3 things:
1. Circumvention of the key itself
2. competitor link
3. selling outside of MM

:p

OP needs 3 months and 250 posts to enable the trust anyway.

Yes exactly, it was good to hear from Microsoft Hover vague the answer was “We would not be able to comment on third party websites involved in such practice”
As windows 7 Ultimate key can be got for £31.50 if you want the software download add £5.00 I can see why folks are tempted ;)

£31.50 + £5.00 = £36.50 for win 7 Ultimate, no way is that legal.
 
On a similar note, i've bought a copy of windows recently for my sons pc. I'm now planning on re-installing windows on my laptop.

I've got the licence on the back of the laptop however i've not cd. Providing the versions are the same (Windows 7 Home Premium) am i ok to use the retail cd and then use the key from the laptop?

You would think so, but the site in question has the Microsoft certified partner logo:confused::confused:

Oh you can also get an Office Professional 2010 key for £35.99 and download for £5.00 more!

The thing is it all looks legit:mad:

So do you log in to all of those "legit" bank sites that people randomly email you, because they have the official bank logos on them :confused:
