I'm just curious if the Windows 7 Ultimate keys that people are selling on eBay are legit or not. I see them ranging from $15 to $30.
Is there a way to verify a product key?
If it sounds too good to be true.....
You're going to to have nothing but problems if you try that route.
Yes, it is too good to be true. I actually did a Google search and it looks like some people are selling keys from their MSDN subscription. While the key may work fine for some time, if MS finds out, then your key will be deactivated or something like that.
I almost bought 3.
derekimo: is that Bay Bridge on your signature?
What's TechNet subscription? (Googling now...)
You can also Google coupon codes for TechNet discount up to $ 100 off the price

A subscription that ranges from $250-$350 per year which gives you access to Windows clients (XP, Vista and Windows 7...multiple keys...all versions), Windows Servers (2003, 2008, R2 releases....multiple activation keys) and Office (2003, 2007,2010).
When you are planning to buy more than 1 copy of Windows, or Windows and Office for 1 computer, it's often cheaper to go the technet route.

So it cannot be checked ahead of time
