oh ok thanks :)
Windows 7 Ultimate for $35, do you send us a picture of the packaging like the other cd key websites to prove these are real deal?
They are not the real deal.
I bet you they are Technet or MSDN keys.
Most of our cd keys, we send in scanned image format but Windows 7 we just send text. But we can guarantee you the keys are 100% Genuine and Legit if not, we will provide refund.
Best Regards,
~CD Keys Discount
Is windows 7 OEM or is it a key that was off an MSDNAA subscription?
Because if it is the latter, it's likely Microsoft will black list the key.
If that happens will you still provide refund?
These are 100% Genuine keys but if that happens, then you can contact our customer support and we may consider a refund.
"may consider a refund"
You're not filling me with confidence here. I was considering doing this until you said that.I'll also note that you don't really answer scrimshaw's question. You don't confirm what type of key it is. You're just saying it's "100% Genuine". It could be a 100% Genuine trial key.
(Not trying to grief here, just pointing out things in your response that are worrying. I would be MORE than happy to purchase from cdkeysdiscount if I'm confident in what I'm buying. Unfortunately the internet is rife with unscrupulous businesses, making me have to question everything)
We'll first do our best to resolve the problem you are experiencing and then provide refund if nothing could be done. :/ And yes these are 100% genuine, legit keys for the FULL version of Windows.
No way windows 7 ultimate is a genuine key for $35. No place in the world sells this for around this price.
What you are doing is selling MSDN (The developer network test keys) keys. This is illegal and Microsoft has started cracking down on these keys.
Agree. Its ppl like cdkeysdiscount, that screwed up Technet for us. MS wised up and stopped giving out 10 keys with windows, instead only offering 2 with Technet accounts.
If cdkeysdiscount can't provide us with the scanned copy of the MS Key sticker, it means that its either Technet or MSDN keys.
These are OEM keys.
By the time you ask for a refund, the page has probably disappeared. Email = Gmail = No Mail.

With the Windows 7 cd keys will you provide a link to be able to download or will this be up to ourselves to do this.?
We only provide the CD Key on purchase but we can certainly help with the download link via email or Live Chat.
Can I activate this key with Steam and download the game through that instead?
For Crysis 2? No, but once you download using EA Download Manager, you can just add the game to your library as a shortcut and never have to start EADM again. Just run it straight from Steam and you get all the steam in-game features (web browsing, chat, etc). Also EADM is just like steam in terms of that the game stays in your account so when you uninstall, etc, you just log in to your EADM account to redownload.
Thanks for the reply. Would I be able to get updates of the game straight from Steam the way I would if I bought it from Steam?
Unfortunately no since this is just adding the game's shortcut. It's not like steam recognizes the game. But EA games will provide you with updates in-game so you don't have to go searching on the web for the right update files.
Also you won't be able to mark it as a favorite (well you can but once you restart steam it won't be on your favorites anymore)
Hmmm another CD key website eh?
I have never used cdkeysdiscount.com before has anyone else? I usually use cdkeyshere.com but crysis 2 is $26.99 there.
You expect people to believe reviews which have all been written by first time users to that website, and all a few days apart.
Sorry but that just looks fishy.
-_- I'm tired of creating new accounts so that I can comment more than 5 times a day. And what do you expect sir.. This website's relatively new and I only have few visitors per day and I'm lucky to get a conversion once in a while due to low traffic.
No one is forcing you to create new accounts just to reply to the comments.
For a new website, it's even more suspicious.
@Hintswen;
Wow.. Really? Would you prefer they didn't come here and answer more than 5 comments per day? My mind boggles……..
I havent used these guys either but i'm after a windows 7 key, so i may give it a try.
Run it through the windows 7 product key checker and let us know what license channel it is.
Its MSDN
Sorry guys I can't answer many questions because users outside of AU can only comment 5 times a day -_-. Please send your questions via our website's contact form.
Voted for the deal, I would be interested to know a little more about how they can do things so cheap.
Pretty sure they just buy the games in countries where games are cheaper so it costs them less.
exactly…most games cost $15-30 over there. even legit online shops there sell it at this price, but they don't do international delivery :(
$35 for Windows 7 Ultimate? Can you clarify where you are obtaining these keys from - MSDN? Technet?
Definitely illegal. Good luck to everyone buying their genuine Windows 7 key for $35 from these scammers.
Why do you believe that it is illegal?
No where in the world you can get a windows 7 Ultimate key for 35 bucks.
Even the it's not cheating site (Cheapest place in the world) which microsoft sells direct to students charges more than this for a home premium copy.
They are selling the MSDN test keys for developers. This is illegal.
it's more a grey area - depending on how you interpret M$ EULA. They're basically reselling copies of Windows from countries like China where they get OEM versions for cheap prices (to combat the massive piracy problem there). I've asked M$ about this a few years back (I was selling computers to the states with oem windows pre-installed). Got a different answer each time (5 times in total) - ranging from "No you can't" to "Yeah, that's fine".
At the end of the day, you'd be better off purchasing an Australian copy from an Australian supplier. You're both guaranteeing support (and continued use) and, more importantly (IMO) supporting Aussie business owners :D
Not a grey area outright illegal.
They aren't selling OEM keys. They are selling MSDN keys.
@ kasp - do you have any proof that these are MSDN keys?
Just to give people an idea, when Win7 was released in china, the standard home edition was 399 yuan (about $60au). This was retail at launch - so it's not hard to imagine the oem (which is always cheaper) over a year later COULD be around the $35 dollar mark - again, I'm not saying that's what it is, but it does seem a likely choice IF these guys are legitimate
Someone can buy one and run it through Microsoft's key checker it will come up MSDN. Also unlike the photo they usually take they are sending you a text file.
Price hasn't dropped at all and the version you are talking about is the home version and not Ultimate. (Look at the price difference between Home and Ultimate.)
Also selling OEM keys without building a new system is illegal as well, but they aren't doing that they are selling MSDN keys.
There is no way in hell you can get Windows ultimate for 35 bucks.
Sorry kasp, I was just using China as an example - the M$ China site only has RRP (which as we know, doesn't mean much most of the time in terms of retail) - and they don't mention OEM pricing. If the CDkeys rep could tell us what country it's from, it would be pretty easy to see how legit they are (in terms of pricing comparisons) :D
These are OEM cd keys NOT MSDN.
Complete rubbish & it would still be in breach of the licence conditions.
-_- It's up to the buyer's mind. If the buyer wants to save money go ahead if you don't want to, pay $200 for retail.
Why bother giving you cash when they can download a cracked copy off Bittorrent. It's the same thing.
$200? The M$ 3 pack was $200 not long ago (RRP or $250 I think) - people should band together and take advantage of those deals rather than buying OS OEM - but that's just my opinion.
Also lazed, I'm sure you can have a rational discussion with another person with the need for name calling - we're all adults here :D
As for the Bittorent argument - that IS illegal (unless you own the rights to the software etc etc) - at least if you chose to go through the cd keys mob and got caught out by M$, you would be able to claim ignorance.
The end user hiding behind ignorance does not make selling bodgey keys legit.
The rights to use a piece of software is more than being in posession of the key. You still have to abide by the conditions of the licence.
lol lazed, you talk of my cd keys in breach of the license conditions while you recommend downloading cracked versions? :p
Like I said above - M$ themselves will give you several answers in regards to OEM licensing and selling overseas - and 'hiding' behind a company that tells you they are selling you legal keys that you are allowed to use is definitely a better choice than using a torrent.
Just because I would personally NOT use this site, doesn't meant that are by default dodgy or that their activities are illegal.
An OEM key that you legally bought in china from a retail store in china cannot be stopped by microsoft. But if you just use a crack or a cd keygen you can be detected by microsoft and they can stop you using windows update and stuff like that.
These ARE 100% Legit & Authenticate OEM keys bought legally from China.
I love this claim "These ARE 100% Legit & Authenticate OEM keys bought legally from China."
You do realise if you are selling OEM keys (Which you are not) but lets just say you are. The fact you are selling them without hardware would make these keys 0% legit.
How about you actually buy one from me and then provide some evidence for your negative feedbacks?
Yeah because giving my details to a company who has absolutely no drama ripping Microsoft off is just a fantastic idea. 35 bucks is nothing but changing my credit card just isn't worth the hassle.
Also the fact OEM has to be bundled with hardware for it to be legitimate. I really doubt you are going to be sending me a fully assembled machine with your email of the key.
cdkeysrep, look at what ppl have been saying over and over again. Even if you are selling legal OEM keys, the fact that you are selling the OEM Keys without hardware is makes it ILLEGAL!!!!.
BlitzR - this is the grey area I've referred to - because they are selling them internationally, they can get around the need for hardware to be purchased with it - they are acting as software resellers (who don't need to meet the hardware purchase requirements), and selling overseas bypasses the EULA (which is region restricted).
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. They are selling these keys retail, you are not allowed to do that, the only way you can sell an OEM key through retail is if there was a brand new computer attached to it. You claim you know the industry however I can't fathom how you could possible believe you could pick up a legit copy of windows 7 ultimate for 35 bucks.
This is going on the fact if they are using OEM keys which they are not. If they were OEM keys they would be providing the same photo of the cd-key that they do with the rest of their products.
You know software resellers don't have to meet the hardware requirements when purchasing OEM software right? The chain usually goes Microsoft -> Software Reseller -> OEM Manufacturer/Retail Outlet -> Consumer
If this group is acting as a software reseller, then they DO NOT have to meet the hardware requirements. The EULA is region restricted, meaning that by selling the software outside the region, the aren't technically breaking the EULA, but are going against the region the software is meant to be sold in.
I don't claim to know the industry, I'm just presenting what I found in my investigations a little while ago - rather than this just be a page of you saying 'It's illegal' and others saying 'No it's not' - though I'm more than happy to dumb my answers down if that's what people would prefer :D
The key is an MSDN product. I just checked with the Win 7 Product key checker.
DO NOT BUY. If you have bought a copy already, I suggest getting a refund as soon as possible.
The representative is lying.
These ARE 100% Legit & Authenticate OEM keys bought legally from China.
No…. they are not rep, please remove the product from your store or I will report this to Microsoft.
Thank you scrimshaw - nice that we don't have to speculate any more (though that's half the fun :P) - so if they lied about the windows keys, are they telling the truth in regards to their gaming keys (which was the point of the discussion in the first place I think)?
Ok sorry guys it seems like my supplier didn't tell me the truth about the cd keys. He said they were OEM while they were MSDN. Again we are very sorry about this but please understand. This was not our fault and for the game CD Keys, we buy from different suppliers and for Steam and EA Download Manager games, we provide you the scanned images of the cd keys inside the actual box to show you that these are the real deal. Again please accept our apologies or at least take this in a neutral way. But we only buy the Windows keys from this supplier and other cd keys from other more reliable suppliers. Also for not telling us the truth, our supplier has agreed to provide LIFETIME replacement keys for ANY Windows CD Keys bought at cdkeysdiscount.com
This means if your key has problems (blacklisted, ie) you get new key - FOR LIFETIME!Best Regards,
CD Keys Discount
And how surprising, this was a deal for Crysis 2 not Windows 7 :/
If you're selling illegal keys for Windows 7 you're probably selling other dodgey software keys.
These other keys are scanned images of the cd keys INSIDE the actual DVD Box
If you're scamming Microsoft how do I know you won't scam me?
If you can buy crysis 2 for $25.99 in china why wouldn't you be able to buy windows 7 for $35?
Because even the cheaper home version doesn't sell for 35 bucks in china.
This is the ultimate version we are talking about. The price difference between windows 7 home and windows 7 ultimate is around 150 bucks retail. 100 dollars OEM.You can't even get the Windows 7 home version for 35 bucks. How in hell could you possibly get the Ultimate version for that price?
If retail RRP in china is around $60, then I'm sure you'd be able to get OEM for under $35 (home version) - I know ultimate costs more, but it's plain to see how much lower the prices are in china compared to Australia - now if you started investigation places like Russia, Africa, Zimbabwe etc, you'd probably find a massive variance in pricing again - that's 'how the hell' you could possible get prices like the Cdkeys people are selling
Plus do we even know that cdkeysdiscount.com gets their games from china? I think cdkeyshere.com is from Turkey and maybe software/games are even cheaper than in china there?
Broden Jr - I have no idea - I was just using China as an example of the different regional pricing around the world - I'm sure the cdkeys guy/gal can tell us a little more (though they may have to wait till tomorrow)
Yes and we are talking about ultimate not home premium.
I say it again there is no way in hell even using the price difference between other countries you could get windows 7 ultimate (OEM or retail) for 35 dollars. Also note they have to have a margin as well that is profitable otherwise they wouldn't do it.
You don't find it suspect that unlike the other products they sell that they take a photo of the cd-key they just send you the windows 7 ultimate key in text.
If giving this answer will end these arguments, then YES we do get out Windows 7 Keys from China.
Again, I'm not saying they are legit - I'm just pointing out that they could be - unless we get people who've had personal experience, either positive or negative, we're just putting forward opinions, which without knowing the motives behind, is relatively baseless in the scheme of things :D
Also we only buy Windows 7 CD Keys from China. We have different suppliers in different countries.
So you would have no issues if I was to direct MS to your website? In particular the link where you are selling Win7 Ultimate OEM Keys for $35 without hardware…
And you wonder why people don't bother posting bargains to OzBargain anymore? Here we go yet again, people making negative comments about a cheap product with no proof/evidence.
At least let the rep explain in good time (as they can only do 5 posts/day) to answer any questions/queries you may have. Or perhaps even go to their website and send them an email.
OzBargain relies on people contributing deals/bargains. How many bargains have lazed or kasp provided? That would be zero. Please contribute in a positive way and perhaps actually post up a bargain instead of jumping the gun and providing negative comments.
That site is selling illegal keys. So people shouldn't be warned they could be purchasing illegal goods?
Look if someone has bought the windows 7 key please download this program and tell us the license channel it uses.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Windows-7-Pr…I can guarantee you it will be MSDN. At which point you should promptly ask for a refund.
It's fine to share your opinions, but the only comments you've made since you joined ozbargain have been to discredit cdkeys - maybe you got burned by them, or maybe you don't like them, I'm not sure, but surely you can bring more to this community than constant negativity? I'd like to think so :D
the guy didn't even ever buy from us.. Our store started last month and somebody PLEASE try out that software with our cd key and I guarantee it WON'T be MSDN.
aldog, I agree with you in parts that some people make excessive negative comments. However, deals like this can easily be in a fuzzy grey area. Referring to the post above:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/40625#comment-404119
Buying Crysis 2 from this place will not allow you to activate the game on steam. Therefore this is not truly a region free cheap deal for the game. At least when people think negatively about the deal, they do research into it and at least get people to question the deal without entering into it blindly. Once I purchased the Orange Box off eBay and was sent a region locked one that I couldn't activate on Steam. Valve informed me that there was nothing they could do and I should contact the seller for a refund, which took me about 3 months to get and I lost out on postage costs. Deals like this that subvert targeted pricing from the vendors need to be treated carefully as you can end up with a copy of the software or game that restricts your usage in ways you might not expect.
:/ Let me make this clear in case you guys don't know. Every game published by EA can be activated ONLY by EA Download Manager REGION-FREE (Except for BulletStorm because the publisher for some reason went with GFWL). Just because it's on steam, it doesn't mean it can be activated on steam.. I think this is what everybody is misunderstanding. Thinking that every game can be activated by steam.. Also most Steamworks title like Orange Box and Call of Duty usually ARE region-locked and if they are we will state in our product description and we can also activate the game for you.
Well said. I think a lot of people just assume that if a game is on Steam, then it can be accessed/activated/downloaded from Steam no matter where they get it from.
People - try and remember: Steam =/= everything.
If nothing else, this deal has certainly ignited some interesting discussion :D
If the Windows product keys are legal, why can't they send us a scanned image as they do with the games?
That is up to my supplier but I can guarantee you that these are NOT MSDN keys. These are 100% legal and genuine Windows 7 product keys.
As an FYI: it would appear that your contact form doesn't work on the website.
Also, can I make a suggestion re: Win7 product keys;
To ensure that you get customers from this website, and possibly others, maybe include a sample image of the product keys that are available, obviously edited to not reveal the entire key, along with a screenshot of that same key (again, edited) in the Windows 7 PID checker, proving that they are in fact legitimate keys.
Should be trivial assumedly.
I understand that taking a photo of the holographic stickers on the OEM packaging can be difficult (assuming that MS still do that - never bought a Win7 OEM), but it should still be possible.
Could you describe more in detail about your problem with the contact form? It's working fine for me so i'm not sure exactly how it's not working.
Also thanks for the suggestion, I will try to ask my supplier.
Filled it (https://cdkeysdiscount.com/contact-form.php) out, clicked on "Send", got the following error;
There is 1 error :
an error occurred while sending messageUsing Chrome/Linux, not that my browser or OS should influence a forms ability to send a message. ;)
pointless, software in australia has often been overpriced. massive lols at the clueless comments about windows should be $xyz… when you can instantly get 40-50% discount on most software prices the moment you step out of australia's border. If you haven't noticed already M$ and most other software publishers often have Australians over the barrel when it comes to pricing.
The key is an MSDN product:
DO NOT BUY. If you have bought a copy already, I suggest getting a refund as soon as possible.
The representative is lying.
Surprise Surprise.
Still going to say that they are 100% legit now CDkeysrep?
Interesting…. Except that screenshot shows it as apparently being for "Professional", not "Ultimate" as described.
And I can verify that an MSDN key for "Ultimate" definitely shows up as "Ultimate" in the Win7 PID checker.
He sells all flavours of Windows, he could have bought the professional version. After all theses nothing that great about ultimate except for encryption.
Well I meant that all this rage was over his Ultimate edition, I was unaware of them selling any other versions.
However, that being said, I was completely unaware of MSDN subs providing anything aside from Ultimate, as you can install any version with an Ultimate key - thus removing the need for them to provide any other keys.
Er, this is my copy which I bought earlier. I bought Professional instead of Ultimate.
anyway, angry letter sent, hope they will refund my money or I'll dob them into MS.
@scrimshaw;
Here's hoping you get a refund - never good to be on the wrong end of bad news.
We just provided refund via paypal. And please read our last post to better understand our situation :(
