Amazon
Keys Sold on Our Amazon
Our Amazon listings use brand new software licenses that are issued directly through Microsoft’s official partner channels. These are:
-
Never activated
-
Single-use, clean licenses
-
Generated from Microsoft’s secure license portal
-
Fully compliant with Microsoft’s current licensing model
Because these keys are brand new and obtained from authorized distribution partners, they carry a much higher cost to us. On top of that, Amazon’s seller policies, platform fees, and strict rules around software authenticity all increase the retail price even further.
You are paying for peace of mind and top-tier sourcing — not just the software itself.
Keys Sold on Our Website:
On our website, we offer a different kind of license — one that delivers excellent value, but comes from a completely different supply chain.
These keys come from:
-
Decommissioned and retired PCs (businesses, schools, organizations, etc.)
-
Microsoft’s Authorized Refurbishment Program
-
Sources legally permitted to reissue software licenses under Microsoft’s license transfer terms
These keys were originally used on systems that are no longer in operation. When those machines are recycled, the keys can be reclaimed and legally resold under Microsoft’s own rules — provided they are properly handled and reactivated through the correct channels.
Key facts:
-
They have been decommissioned in accordance with Microsoft strict TOS
-
We verify and test every key before sale
-
Digital delivery with instant access
-
Comes with our full activation guarantee and support
They are not fake, not pirated, and not generated with unauthorized tools — but they are not “new” in the way Amazon keys are.
