    Windows Licensing and Volume Activation


    Hello Microsoft,A quick question about my confusion, is there anyone that helped me out explaining this:1. i want buy the Windows license online, and i saw some online shop sell it around $10 USD, they said it CoA* license and no DVD or box or manual, just the Windows sticker and product key.. and my question is, is the key is original.? since the price is so cheap. Please help me explain2. If the key not original, is there any way for i to buy the volume license from Microsoft, i meant not from 3rd party or Microsoft partner. if yes.. please help me provide the contact of Microsoft overseas s

    :)

    Win 10 activation is expiring - volume license

    Finally got it activated but still confused as to what is really going on with activation.

    here is what I did:

    -got another Win7 Pro key from a friend (non volume license one)
    -I tried to activate it, but it gave the same error message as before, "could not activate with this key"
    -following suggestion above, I tried it a second time. This time it activated !!! (internet was connected both times)

    don't know why just doing it 2 times makes it work. maybe someone else can explain that.

    I checked it with ShowkeyPlus and to my surprise it now said it was activated and showed the installed key as the generic Win10Pro key that is listed in above post. But I did not enter that key. ????

    Win 10 activation is expiring - volume license

    I was able to replicate the error using aVL install media

    Then using a Win 7 Pro COA key --

    -- I got the 'key is not valid" error code 0xc004f050 before internet connectivity was established

    Subsequently it activated on a 2nd attempt with internet connectivity

    Licence channel changed from this...

    ... to this.

    The error message is misleading regarding the validity of the Win 7 key.
