Hi Torchwood,
I've googled the last 3 blocks of the activation code and absolutely nothing comes up on google which is a good sign I suppose...
Now the code could very well be legitimate, however the disks might not??? As I've mentioned in my first post, it's the hologram on the disks that bothers me - a thin plastic film comes away very easily revealing the hologram underneath (see image 5 in my original post). on the MS website it says:
Earlier version of Windows
Microsoft packaged software products prior to Windows 10 such as Windows, Office and Windows Server are delivered on a CD or DVD, which includes vibrant colour and 3D effects on the inner hub of the disc as the disc is tilted. This hologram is embedded within the disc; it is not a label.
There is also an inner mirror band hologram located on the inner part of the back (data) side of the DVD. It changes colour as the disc is tilted. Note: The copper holographic material is embedded within the DVD and is not a sticker. If the hologram peels away, you may have received counterfeit software (report counterfeit software to Microsoft).

I've highlighted in red what tells me that the DVD's could be counterfeit.
