Why this matters — the grey-market problem
Some online sellers offer Microsoft keys at suspiciously low prices. The keys often work… until Microsoft revokes them, deactivates the install, or refuses support. UK businesses have been bitten by:
- OEM keys harvested from second-hand hardware, sold internationally against Microsoft’s terms.
- Volume licence keys leaked from third-country agreements — Microsoft block them on detection.
- VAT invoices that fail HMRC compliance because the seller isn’t UK-registered.
- “Support” that disappears the moment the key fails activation.
Every licence ELITE sells is sourced through authorised UK / EU Microsoft distribution. If a key ever fails activation, we replace it — on a UK phone call.
