    Hi

    I had been in touch with the following website team.

    http://serial-product-key.com/

    They are saying they are providing genuine keys. But they can not provide any proof of it like a certificate or confiriming that it is genuine version? Also if it will be not activiated by windows than they can provide a new key.

    I am an entrepreneur & have offices in those countries where normally the local administration office staff can come & check our PCs that are we uisng genuine windows & its products? If they find that they are not genuine they can fine min $5k for each PC.

    What do you recomand? Is it worth to buy such OEM Serial Product keys?

    Thanks
    Nick

    OEM is supposed to come with the computer. You can sell it as in the retail version. I don't think it is right and I don't think it is legal.

    Many thanks for the suggestions. Can anyone help how such companies can offer these products to sell if they are illegal?

    Thanks for the feedback. Is there any way I can check that the provided keys are genuine? Or does any one know where can I get a discounted (cheap) MS win & office products like he is offering?

    Thxs...

    I like free software and I share them on my website, I think we should provide all free software, don't cost them, because the IT's world is the sharing world.

    Free software as in Open source, get all you want, but copyrighted software, please do not take it for free at our forums. We do not allow infringements of copyrights. I would urge those posting to refrain from suggesting illegal things, or I will have to start giving out infractions.

    It's a matter of ethics here.
