This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In Germany you just purchase an OEM volume license on eBay for 8€

[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.
