          Msdn keys get banned eventually.

          You're the guinea pig testing new updates before they are final. One day an update might bork Windows and you've been hit with it. And thanks to your efforts that update didn't get pushed live to us paying customers.

        • jazoom on 17/02/2016 - 20:47

          @lostn: Actually the Slow Track is quite slow. We get updates long after the Fast Track does. This is exactly where I prefer to be. I get fixes quicker than normal, and am about as unlikely to get "borked".

    I don't trust these guys, never heard of them. Microsoft does not sell software this way. We all know that the Redit thing is some sort of a dodgy thing too.

    Even Trustpilot which is dubious has poor reviews, bad keys which would never happen if legit.

    No-one at Whirlpool vouched for them either

      • deltakilo on 17/02/2016 - 16:14

        Probably is, just like Reddit?

        • tonyjzx on 17/02/2016 - 16:16

          Microsoft have always charged about $100 for the home edition and $160 for the professional edition.

          There's no way to get it cheap outside of run out sales from HN etc. or from student or business deals.

        • hen dawg on 17/02/2016 - 17:50

      Hi Tuzii,

      Just to clear up, we are an Australian limited company, it would be highly illegal for us to sell anything other than the true product we're representing. We guarantee that exactly what we sell is the real thing. The penalties for doing anything else just aren't worth it!

      We're pretty open too, that if you're not 100% satisfied with the purchase, let us know and we'll give a 100% refund.

      Hi Ozdavo,

      These are the full version of this software, valid for new installations. We supply full instructions and downloads direct for Microsoft - don't trust any supplier that uses third party download sites!

      I know it's cheap, but these are the real thing. We're getting a great deal from our supplier as they're clearing out so we're passing it on!

  • mr626 on 17/02/2016 - 21:12

    Hi,

    Can you please comment on how you can possibly be selling legitimate software, based on the information provided by Microsoft Australia here?

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/howtotell/Software.aspx#Digi…

    "With the exception of Product Key Cards distributed with Certificates of Authenticity (COA’s), Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys, it’s a good indication that these keys are likely stolen or counterfeit."

    Not going to neg, but alarm bells are ringing for me.

    • Associated0dannyboy10 @ MoonBox Software on 17/02/2016 - 22:29

      Hi Mr626,

      We purchase these as is from our supplier and then check them with Microsoft. So far everything we have has originated with them, so for our third party perspective if they're confirming it's genuine then we're happy. If we were to purchase keys that didn't pass this, then we'd certainly not be happy offering them for public sale.

      Interesting that Microsoft state this, however if you purchase standalone Office 2016 from their online store, they will actually send you a product key to your email. Its certainly more convenient! They also do send out large orders (ie. if you were purchasing 10,000 + licences) digitally, though this would only be to their large order clients.

      Sure there are a lot of scammers, but there are many reputable and legal retailers that supply genuine licences in a digital manner. Microsoft might not like it, but they do allow it.
      There is always a level of trust in buying anything online, so if you've got alarms definitely stay away! Better to spend some extra cash and get the real thing than get pinged!

      I think that if a genuine business is supplying this way, it will be in their interest to supply the real thing. Definitely to offer assurances such as third party payment protection (like PayPal), money back promises, good customer service and tech support. Not just plugging us, there are other great companies that offer a similar service to us and do a great job. Obvs - I think we're the best.

      Apologies it's long, just trying to offer a balanced explanation :)

      • mr626 on 18/02/2016 - 07:41
        +6

        Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid I still remain unconvinced. "Microsoft might not like it, but they do allow it" how does this even make sense?

        And if you are confident of the legitimacy of the keys, why are you even 'checking them with Microsoft' ? I have never (in my 2 decades in I.T) heard of a legitimate vendor of Microsoft software needing to check the keys they are selling.

        As most people are aware, there are many ways to get Microsoft keys that pass any activation check…at first. They may last a week, a month or even a couple of years, but Microsoft do eventually flag them (best example- the keys being sold on places like Reddit).

        So for the purposes of being absolutely above board, can you please clarify a couple of points (these have been asked by others as well, but no answer as yet):

        -Where are you getting the keys from?
        -What kind of license are they? OEM, Retail?
        -How exactly are you 'checking' them?

        If your keys are indeed 100% above board (which I'm not convinced of, but that could just be me wearing my cynical internet hat) it shouldn't be hard to provide the above information.

        For the sake of everyone else looking at this deal though, I am going to check with my Microsoft licensing rep today about the legitimacy of this site selling these keys, and will report back with their response.

        • j03 on 18/02/2016 - 15:31

          I'm with mr626 on this one. Its kinda like buying keys from the black market the way Moonboxsoftware are operating! Without proof of the keys origin everything is a risk. Who knows they could have been stolen genuine keys too.

          We often do software audits on companys and are able to request Microsoft to give you a detailed report/status on keys that you submit to them. They'll email you with info such us the type of prodId lic. (MSDN, VOL, Retail, etc), Number of times it has been activated, whether it has been blocked, etc etc etc.

    Windows 7 for life!

  • mr626 on 19/02/2016 - 10:27

    Well, rep has gone quiet and no answer to my concerns, so I'm going to neg this deal. Too many unanswered questions. When a direct link from Microsoft Australia says that they don't sell software this way, that has to sounds some alarm bells.

    Haven't heard back from my Microsoft rep yet, but will post here when I do.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/03/2016 - 18:20

      Did you ever hear back from the Microsoft rep?

      • mr626 on 17/03/2016 - 18:31

        No I didn't, which is a bit disappointing (but not surprising in some ways- they are often hard to get a hold of even when I want to spend thousands of dollars with them!).

        But given the lack of responses from the REP, I think it is safe to say this deal is a bit off.

        • [Deactivated] on 17/03/2016 - 20:46

          thanks for the update

  • bargrin on 20/02/2016 - 21:29

    I need to swap out and ssd in a laptop for new ssd, so I am guessing going to need to load up a new OS in new ssd….this should do the trick?

    • mr626 on 21/02/2016 - 17:35

      If all you are doing is changing the drive in your laptop you don't need a new Windows license.

      And even if you did need another license, I wouldn't recommend this deal (for reasons already stated above).
