To find more about what licenses we’ve got and how these guys can sell it for so cheap, we tried digging into Microsoft licensing system.Īs it is known, Microsoft has three types of license for Windows 10 Pro systems: So, one would say this system works, but legality of the licenses is questionable. We went to Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation – > Enter Product Key and copy/pasted our Windows 10 Professional license keys there.Īfter a couple of seconds, Windows 10 connected to Microsoft servers and verified our keys as valid and voilà – Windows was activated for less than $5, quite different from $90 which is what Microsoft sells it for.īoth machines were activated and working… Keys arrived via eBay message system within two hours. We are not lawyers and this text isn’t legal advice on Windows 10 product licensing.įor the purpose of this article we downloaded Windows 10 from Microsoft website, installed it on two machines and went straight to eBay where we bought two Windows 10 Professional licenses from two random sellers. These license keys are exploiting Microsoft licensing rules, and are sort of piracy.
Everyone wonders, do these keys work and are those legit? The answer is, they do work, but are not the legitimate Windows license keys. Recently, there has been a surge of very cheap Microsoft Windows 10 license keys on eBay, Amazon and other online stores.
