Topic: [WTS]Cheap Windows 7&8 and MS Office key - page 3. (Read 10235 times)

Let's mark it here and come back after 6 months, 12 month so on to check with my clients.

Hell, why not take a bet with me as imsaguy(or anybody you trust) would be the escrow if you are so sure about what you are saying and have "inside" knowledge about how Microsoft works with their keys?

Bet: Windows copy will still be activated after 6 months.
For:softwareseller
Against:LoupGaroux
Amount:20BTC

We'll each deposit 20BTC to an escrow and key would be sent to escrow to determine the results.

Dare to take it?

A)  Obviously the key could activate ANY copy of the software, and in so doing it keys exactly what license is being used. All of the release versions are the same... the key is what sets the permission levels, and creates the triggers by which ET phones home and checks to verify that it is valid on a license count basis, and a time basis. Of course if you had any kind of legitimate ownership of this license you would already know this, and you would understand the terms of the agreement that you electronically signed with Microsoft that specifically forbid you from doing exactly what you are doing in offering multiple copies of the license for sale.

And no, I will not explain the intricacies of how time crippling works after a license check. It would be a violation of a couple of NDA's, and the effort would be wasted on an unrepentant thief like you.

B)  Microsoft allows this courtesy to developers who use the software in development, NOT to little cheats who sell the license repeatedly in violation of their terms.

You, Sir, are not Microsoft, and do not have the legal grounds to sell these licenses. You are selling them illegally, you are offering tainted goods which will have no support or follow-through when they invariably fail, and anyone who buys a copy of your illegal license will be left holding the bag looking for an additional illegal way of activating or continuing to use their software when their machine stops functioning.

LOL. So much for windows 8.

Price on the Win 8 Keys seem a little high, since you can upgrade any XP key to 8 for $39.99 on OCT 26 and don't have to worry about the Key being "timed-bomb" or becoming invalid if the MSDN account is terminated.

Win 8 RTM is great, and someone just did a patch(hack) to remove metro and add the start menu LOL.

a) You could activate my key on retail copy which is exactly the same as MSDN copy
b) Microsoft allows developers to use activated copy forever

timebomb?  Where the hell is this comes from?  Can you tell me a way that allows Microsoft to "timebomb" my key without monitor what you do and break all privacy law?

Look, I'm just trying to get some information out there for folks who might be tempted. What softewarereseller is doing is wrong, and a violation of his licensing with MS, if he even has licensing for the items he is offering. He is selling something that he is expressly forbidden to sell, if he has legit access, or he is flogging someone else's license in violation of their licensing agreement. MS is very aware of these kinds of sellers, and they timebomb their releases to the tech community for just this reason. They may not even expressly tell you how it will die, but die it indeed will. You accept those rules as a developer. The program is going to be $40 for the upgrade from 7. That gives you 5 machines worth of simultaneous licensing. Not such an onerous price for what is looking like a fairly decent release.

Or you can choose to do business with a rip-off artist who thinks that using a potty mouth somehow makes his argument more compelling. Interesting to note that squall has been asked to "test" this for him. Note the the original posts said nothing about money back guarantees, product testing, or trust... it was a sales pitch for stolen property, pure and simple. If you are comfortable with that- knock yourself out, pirate the shit out of it. But don't come whining here when the timebomb goes off, you system no longer works and you spend days trying to find the right keygen/KMS system to release your machines. It's 4 btc to upgrade. If you want the release bad enough, is that really such a heavy price?

To be fair softwareseller asked me to test this out for him, Then if it lasted past the 90 days to pay him, But I have no intrest in win 8, So he must beleive in his keys, And he has had some buyers of those keys who are happy.

Generally, the trial keys will indicate that much.

I'm not trying to defend softwareseller, just making sure the info presented from both sides is legit.

correction, the upgrade from windows 7 is $40

wow, you gave littleshop a whopping 1 hour and 20 minutes to respond before declaring him to be full of shit.

is there a way to know that your keys are paid? Because it will suck if someone bought your keys, and found out that they were free 90 days later. by that time, you probably could have run away.

Retail price on the full release from Microsoft is going to be $39.95 US for Win 8. Why would anybody bet $200 that your illegally sold keys are going to last when they can get the real deal for one fifth the price? It's little junior scammers like this that ruin the benefits that legitimate developers get from the various companies they work with. Thanks for pimping your shit and screwing up the system for all the good people who develop for the OS.

Watching this, But I cant wait 90 days to see if this is for real so going to get a genuine retail version as I just cant be assed anymore.

Thank you. Those guys should put money where their mouths

Littleshop, want to bet? Whether the key will expire or not?
20BTC bet, both of us send 20BTC to the escrow. I also send the key to him. We'll come back after 90 days. And see the result. Shall we?
Key send to escrow for free for serving us.

Check the caption below the image of your link. Yes. Free key expires for 90 days. Paid keys last forever. I sell paid keys. Just as imsaguy pointed out

The keys listed on msdn paid subscriptions are for RTM Win 7 and RTM Win 8 so that you can setup a lab indefinitely and test things.  There are no expiration so long as the keys don't get blocked for being shared, etc.

This disagrees with you:

But I'm selling RTM key. So it will not expire

True.  But Windows 7 pre-release keys did expire sometime after the Windows 7 launch.  Same will happen with Windows 8 pre-release.

This is against MSDN terms of agreement. I'm fairly sure another user's thread was banned.

Also, the fine for this sort of thing is around about $250,000.

Wow.  Wrong.  Wrong. Wrong.

RTM does mean release to manufacture but the KEYS are controlled by Microsoft.  So the RTM disk/ISO/download will be mass produced as the disk Microsoft sells, but the MSDN keys DO EXPIRE.  Microsoft has actually done this two times before, Win Vista and Win 7 and intends to do it for Win 8.
