Vista Product Key Question. (Legal)

[Polarman]

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/Master_Games_List_-_DA good while ago, i purchased directly from Microsoft a "Vista replacement disk" that has SP1 intergrated. I had to call them to order it. The DVD looks like this:

This replacement DVD came with a new product key wich has NOT been used (activated). I even asked M$ why did they gave me a second key. They said that the replacement includes a new key. Ok...

Since i always use my original key that came with my retail box, is it safe for me to sell the above key?

I don't think so - I tried to sell a stack of OEM discs with no keys and MS threw a fit, so eBay deleted my listing. Try craigslist instead.

This is not OEM at all. You need to own the retail box to get this from M$. They ask and verify if you have the right product number.

hmmm... I'm not sure then. If none of your listings have been deleted before, you can list it and if it's not within their rulse, they'll delete it and email you with no effect on your account (unless they changed that form 2 yrs ago)

I was not intending to sell it on EBay. My friend wants to buy it. Re-read my question...

 

[n-ster]

it is safe... though if you are selling something like that to your FRIEND, I wouldn't charge much xD why'd you get a 32bit version?

 

[Polarman]

He's been bugging me about it for a while and he does'nt want to dish out the extra $$$ for a retail box.

 

[n-ster]

go ahead and sell it... no problem at all doing that...

so why the 32bit?
