How long is he going to be offering them?

Until they're all gone, apparently. ^^

Um, you do realize activated != validated.

Pirated copies can easily be activated, validation (when they start blacklisting keys) is another issue.

Do me a favor. Show me the part of your product ID that is demonstrated by this screen shot. Particularly, an Ultimate OEM copy of Windows 7 is, shall we say, interesting.

And let me repeat—activation is not the same as validation. You can easily activate a stolen key using the OEM exploit that worked in Vista. Once Microsoft starts blacklisting Windows 7 keys, a lot of those copies are going to fail validation, and then the Windows Update heartache will begin. Right now, Microsoft is not, as far as I know, blacklisting any keys on the validation process for Windows 7.

Um, no. Your product ID is a one way hash of your product key. And besides, it's just three digits of a dozen or more.

You don't have anything to hide, do you?

Let's see, you've so far confused activation and validation, and the product ID and the product key. Ignorance or malice, take your pick, you ain't lookin' good either way.

Yeah, I would too, if I were selling stolen software to people I wanted to be my friends.

Yep, scammer.

I still am kinda curious WHY You are buying them in bulk. <_<

He won't answer that, because he's selling the cracked version off of BitTorrent. Class act, this guy.

Hey fagolla.

"ts a digital download"

Meaning you get it off the Microsoft web site.


Now go back to the hole you came from.

Meaning you get it off the Microsoft web site.

How do you know this?

Apparently you don't know what a digital download is.

So you're telling me I can use his key with an ISO from the Microsoft site? Again, how do you know this?

And shit, I can call any stupid random link a "digital download". Maybe that's the term Microsoft uses, but unless you somehow know (again, HOW?) that his link is a microsoft.com link, I remain suspicious

(and IntelMiner, dude, all you have to do is somehow prove you're not selling cracked OEM versions, and I'll gladly shut up.)

ey. calm the shit down. i dont care if simbab is a prick or not. hes asking lagidimate questions. and as someone that was interested in purchasing. i want to know where those keys were coming from. since obviously the guy wont answer. its reasonable to assume they were not official, proper keys. thus. simba has saved me from getting boned by someone on the internet.

so regardless of if hes done anything bad to you or not. please dont butt into someone elses journal, for the sole fact of bitching him out.

otherwise your no better than whoever your calling a prick.

that did bring up a question... rather. WHY are you buying these in bulk? It cant be to sell them to random furs on the internet <_>

no. WHY are you buying them in bulk :P

Why are you buying them, period? You realize this whole thing smacks of you selling shit you downloaded off of BitTorrent, right?

Buying things in bulk is cheaper. As stated above, since it's a digital download apparently, you can easily burn to a disc. When you buy digital downloads, as I and many of my college friends have for Windows 7 since we got it for a massive deal for having an .edu address, they give you the Windows Activation key with it. The digital download can easily be burned to a disc or however you choose. The product key, if you're going to sell it or something, must be given to them at the way he's doing it.

Buying things for cheap and selling them for slightly more is an easy way to make a quick buck. No harm in that. The only problem is giving that key to them. Say if you im them the key, you could accidentally mistype it into a notepad file and save it and the key won't work when giving them it.

I've said too much for answering that question. ^^; But yeah, as you can see, the easiest way for them to sell it like that would probably be a print screen screenshot of the key from the site as I believe a recent occurrence could've been prevented that way...

well besides the fact of reviving a dead post and journal.


we were skeptical because he refused to tell us why he had so many of the keys, and why he was selling them all, which made us believe they were not legidimate

It's alright. I just saw it there while going through things and decided to post. :3

Also, where, exactly, are you getting these keys?

You're a nosy little fuck, aren'tcha?

That's exactly the kind of comment I expect when nothing untoward is going on.
