Is purchasing Microsoft products from Brytesoft.com legal?

Their website says “When big businesses buy in bulk, sometimes they end up with more licenses than they need. We buy them cheap and pass the savings on to you. It’s the same software at a much lower price.”  Does that violate any Microsoft licensing agreements?  I need to know so I can advise my customers.

    Hi Thor

    That website is like a lot more you will find on the Internet, they are selling volume licence keys, which are not meant for the private user

    Those licences will initially activate and then over time, they will expire, that is because those licences are meant to be used in a company/organization environment where the licence will be re-armed on a regular basis - you will not be able to do that

    For that reason, you would be just wasting your money and end up with a software product that is not activate and no use to you

    Best advice - don't waste your money !
