Product activation keys are not a software license, nor do they constitute authorization from Microsoft to access or use software Although I am not yet a lawyer, I found these two excerpts from Microsoft's complaint pertinent: Therein, Geekwire shared the civil case of Microsoft v. In a related post, there was an answer that referenced a 2018 Geekwire article Microsoft sues 'prolific distributor' of pirated Office and Windows software. Is purchasing from such resellers legitimate? How about for business use? I was referred to this particular source by another ITĬonsultant who has no desire to jeopardize his business by dealing I have no desire to be sued or jailed for software Yes, the source is completely on the up and up to the best of myĪbility to discern. I asked an IT consultant who I'd describe as "scrupulously honest" about the legitimacy of such resellers. Nike from a discounter, from TJ Maxx," Jordan said.
It would be like buying Adidas or Puma or Mark Jordan, Kinguin’s VP ofĬommunications, told Tom's Hardware in 2019 that Kinguin's merchantsĪcquire the codes from wholesalers who have surplus copies of Windows
Kinguin has more than three dozen merchants While we can't vouch forĪll of them, websites selling cheap Windows 10 or 11 keys are likely Now, let's address the elephant in the room. Tom’s Hardware seems to be comfortable with Kinguin: Kinguin sells it for $32.62 (at the time of posting). Like I said, I really hate to tell my friends here at this forum that I have actually used Kinguin to buy a few Windows 10 Pro keys, but they are all 100% guaranteed, and Microsoft has a fantastic support team to help you with any problem.I've been comparing prices on Windows 11 Pro licenses from third-party OEM license resellers. When I did run into a problem I just got on the phone to Microsoft and let them install it for me. I was sure maybe it automatically used the key I put in but it says "We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key" Can I get some help for what to do next? (Starting to think buying from Kinguin was a bad idea.)Īlthough I hate to admit here on this forum, I have bought a few Windows 10 Pro keys from Kinguin. After that, I found a way to insert my key after but it said I required the internet so after a couple hours I got the internet running to my PC and then it said my key was used. I was "told" to click "Don't have a product key" and to click Windows 10 Pro from there. I talked to customer service from Kinguin but it was clear he didn't speak English as his primary language so it created a small language barrier between us. After installing Windows into my new PC I plugged in the product key and it didn't work. Recently bought a windows key from Kinguin for Windows 10 Pro.
