Hi,
Few month a ago, i noticed some seller sell Microsoft software such as W7, W10, Office etc., in very cheap price.
Around RM50 you can get the new license key.
But the license can only :
1. Use for 1 pc/laptop only.
2. Can be reinstall at the same pc/laptop without change the hardware.
3. Only get the serial number without COA, box etc.
The market price for the license is around RM100 and above if i`m not mistaken (Sorry because i not so update with the latest price)
..............
I already bought W7 license key and install to my laptop.
I don't have any problem to activate and update my W7.
Its mean the license is legal.
But when i try to upgrade my W7 to W10 (Microsoft offer free upgrade), Microsoft detect that i use the fake/hack/wrong key.
I already talk with Microsoft technician, he said the same thing. He suspect im using the fake/hack/wrong key.
The seller claimed the license is legal and original from Microsoft.
My question is, is it legal license key?
Is it really Microsoft sell the license key in very cheap price?
We cannot say this is legal or illegal since Malaysia laws is still quite blur about IT copyright issue. Malaysia government has not set the law about copyright of software or must only buy from retailers. Besides, if government really want to take action about the illegal product key issue. The first thing is to catch the sellers but not you. Since the seller is able to sell the key at cheap price, you should considered probably this is a OEM product keys not the retail product keys. The official price for Office 2016 is at least RM1,000 (not RM100 like you say).
However, the only thing I can guarantee to you. This might illegal but the keys are guaranteed "Genuine". Microsoft won't care about your key is illegal, they just provide a genuine key for you to activate your Windows/Office, that's it just simple. Don't think too complicated as what you were said legal or illegal.
Last thing I need to share something to you, actually you no need to spent any cent to activate your windows and office.
