Found this link which is giving a super discount for some software

[Link removed]

I am purchasing a license for Win 10 Pro and for Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise.

They are digital licenses (just the key in email)

We can get keys verified from Microsoft.

Software need to be downloaded directly from Microsoft.

Please don't buy from them. They are fake. They send leaked keys which are available at serials.ws

I have forwarded my order email in which I got the leaked keys for Win 10 and Visual Studio to Microsoft.

I am waiting for Microsoft's reply.

The keys they send are available at serials.ws

productkeyonline.com is better as they sell genuine Microsoft digital licenses which I have purchased several times and gotten verified by Microsoft but they don't sell Visual Studio.

Sorry for your loss. Not to  add insult to injury. But I think the price at least for the Visual Studio key was kind of on the the to good to be true side. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. The Windows key well that may have looked more in the legit range. As a general tip, do not get any bargin Windows OS key and store it for later use. Use them as soon as you get them or else they may "expire"   

Yes, you are right. Even productkeyonline.com says that the keys should be used within a few days else it get locked permanently. productkeyonline.com has sent me 4 replacement keys till now for Win 7 Ultimate.

Regarding dealkartindia.com, I got the keys verified by Microsoft and they said that I can use the keys but not to purchase in future from unknown sources. They said to contact them (Microsoft) if I get any issues regarding the activations of any keys and they will solve the issue.

Maybe some guys from Microsoft are also involved in the Piracy? I showed them the serials.ws Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise key and the key I got from dealkartindia.com which are the same but the said that I can use that key for activation as the keys are valid and genuine.

I bought a Dell notebook and had to replace the hard drive and used a pirate copy of windows & office thinking yes I have a licence key. (which I do have, strange thing is it installed and registered the software without doing anything).
even saying that windows is so open anyone who installs windows gets a valid install today.

what I wanted to say is I like dell as they auto install the latest version of windows so easy.
Cheaper to buy an old dell than a Microsoft licence/

I think the windows 10 key is stored in your UEFI/BIOS if you have a Windows OEM license

HP amoung others used to license Windows 7 using Slip keys held in the BIOS.

Yeah, for many years I've either used HP kit, or hacked the BIOS on other motherboards to have a SLIC table for Windows 7 or a server OS. I even have a couple of NICs that I reprogrammed the network boot memory on to hold the SLIC table for Server 2008. Worked a treat on various server hardware.

Shame they changed it for Windows 10. Still, as Pickit showed, there are software alternatives. I think MS is still doing free upgrade licenses from Win7, even if it was activated non-traditionally. So far though I'm avoiding Win10, apart from a VM I have installed with 2019 LTSC for some testing.

When MS fix the things that have been glaring problems since Windows XP, I'll pay for another license*. They promised that the network-not-available on boot bug, which was complained about in Win7 from day 1, would not exist in Win10. Liars - it's still there exactly the same. Supposedly an update some time ago fixed it... no, it didn't.

*well, maybe.

Ironically Windows 7 installed with a hooky key will activate to a fully licensed version when upgrading to Windows 10.

That shows just how keen MS is on getting the Windows 10 trojan everywhere.

https://github.com/SystemRage/py-kms is excellent, if there is enough interest for instructions on how to run it and configure the machine to speak with KMS let me know.

This is very interesting, metal. I wonder if can be used to remove or reduce win10 calling home or is only for registration of this products?

Hi

You can buy any microsoft product key in Ebay - there you have buyer protection if it is not working

All the best

It's hard to imagine how windows 10 pro license keys for $5 (or the workstation version for $16) can be legit...but it worked for me and windows key still worked when reinstalling a year later.

It was a Techquickie video on this topic some time ago

I think some of the keys being sold on ebay come from MSDN subscriptions that are not intended for resale.  I haven't needed to purchase any windows keys prior to windows 10 since my clients often had a surplus of them from broken machines and leftovers.

Or you could use HWID and get M$ to give you a Digital license for most versions of W10 (ENT for example) , then use O&O shutup to disable most telemetry.. no dealing with scammy key sales....

Okay, but what is use O&O shutup to disable most telemetry?

O&O is a free tool that prevent windows 10 from most the spying. It is not the only one

If you have a legit Win 7 or 8.1 machine floating around you can still get a legit W10 digital license from M$ by simply claiming you are assistive technology user as the M$ assistive technologies portal still allows free upgrades to this day...

I have never had a problem moving a digital license with a simple phone call to M$ activation saying the computer fried and I had to rebuild it, the online chat works most of the time, but I prefer calling as you can more easily plead your case if they give you the run around...

Once KMS is correctly configured on win10 machine, it will not call home any more, it will always call the KMS IP for activation, look below for windows 10 debloater and the link shared by Sideshow Bob other calling home dilemma


Look at this  (https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater)too

excellent link Sideshow Bob, thank you
