I need it for doing CVs and job applications and that’s literally it.

      If I understand it correctly, Microsoft sells discounted keys to organizations as part of their Volume Licensing for businesses.

      Some places on the internet take advantage of that, and sell the keys individually.

        More likely it is a key purchased with a stolen credit card. Do not use gray markets

          Highly unlikely. The grey market keys are clearly for large companies. You couldn’t purchase thousands of keys with a stolen credit card.

              K. We aren’t talking about game theft, we are talking about a specific known issue that Microsoft has talked about. Thanks for linking to an unrelated article?

                Gray markets are just full of stolen stuff. To think something else is just fooling yourself.

                Anyway, keep using it if you want but they are not “I am so smart for finding it cheaper” but rather “I don’t mind support illegal activities”
