It may work and may not all the while you pay less than market price.Ĭonsidering "Market price" for a copy of 64-bit Win10Pro OEM here in Aus is minimum of $209AUD + S&H (PCCaseGear, usually the lowest prices for PC parts online within Australia I've found), and about $40 AUD (plus protection if you wish) from Kinguin, I'll take Kinguin once again if I need to build a new Win10 system from scratch and I'm yet to have a problem with my Kinguin-bought key on Monsuta. You just explained why its considered a grey license. However I call all the time to get help with my computers with theses licences and they always help me anyways.

Yes, they are OEM copies, and thus Microsoft could refuse to give you technical support. So I have to disagree with your assertion that they are in some way "grey". And even if you got a bad key, assuming you get the 1$ kinguin warranty you recive a no questions asked refund within 30 days of purchase. I believe Linus briefly mentioned buying one of these packs in a video becouse he was guard of windows deactivating it self after hardware swaps. The reason the licenses are cheap is becouse they come from a international license bundle that costs the seller a few thousand dollars, but also gets them a few thousand copies of windows. That just could not happen if they were truly dishonest in any way. If you take a quick look when you purchase, several of the license sellers have 5,000 or more reviews with more than 4 overall stars. In addition, the only instences I have found were a kinguin license not working is in a case were the seller had maybe 100 or less ratings and many were bad. One of the three was purchased two years ago and is still great. I have picked up 3 licenses on kinguin and all 3 of those pcs are running flawlessly. The licenses that Kinguin sells are OEM copies that they burn off and are not always legit.Īlways purchase from authentic resellers.Īnytime you purchase a license for less than market price it will be sketchy/grey.
