    In Germany you just purchase an OEM volume license on eBay for 8€. That’s why I don’t give a shit about all this drama, lol. I’m still switching to Linux once I find the time to do so, because I don’t want to support American companies any further.

      [X]Doubt

      Having purchased $8 keys on eBay, they’re more than likely either data center or MAK activation keys that are being resold against the license agreement.

      Not that I care, mind, but there’s very little likelihood that a real/legit key being sold for that little that’s actually OEM.

      Edit: IMHO, there isn’t much difference in buying a grey market key vs just using the activation script.

        The license agreement doesn’t mean shit here though. Its perfectly legal. They’re perfectly valid and official keys.
