Frequently asked questions
Straight, no-nonsense answers to the questions we get every day.
- Are LicenseVault Microsoft license keys genuine?
- Yes. Every license we sell is a genuine, activatable Microsoft product key sourced through authorized channels and tested before dispatch. Each order is backed by a lifetime activation guarantee — if a key ever fails verification, we replace it free of charge.
- How fast is delivery?
- Digital license keys are delivered by email within minutes of payment — the average is under 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no shipping fees because nothing is mailed physically.
- Which Microsoft products can I buy?
- Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Home and Pro), Microsoft Office 2021/2024 (Home & Business, Pro Plus, Mac edition), Microsoft 365 Personal and Family, Windows Server 2022/2025 (Standard and Datacenter), SQL Server 2022/2025, Visual Studio 2025 Professional and Enterprise, Microsoft Project and Visio.
- Do you ship worldwide?
- Yes — every license is delivered digitally, so customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE, India, Latin America and elsewhere receive their key the same way and at the same speed.
- Why is the price so much lower than the Microsoft Store?
- We source surplus retail and unused volume licenses through authorized European resale channels. Under the EU 'exhaustion of rights' doctrine (UsedSoft v. Oracle, CJEU 2012) these perpetual licenses are fully transferable, which lets us pass the savings on.
- Is buying a digital license legal?
- Yes. Reselling genuine, unused perpetual software licenses is legal worldwide. Each key is tied to the original Microsoft license terms and activates against Microsoft's official servers.
- Will my key work outside the country it was issued in?
- Yes. Microsoft retail product keys are not region-locked; they activate Windows, Office and Server products in every supported language and country.
- What payment methods do you accept?
- Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and instant bank transfers via Stripe. All payments are processed over TLS 1.3 with PCI-DSS-certified providers.

Plain-English glossary
Full glossary →Microsoft licensing terms, decoded
The jargon Microsoft uses on its own pricing pages — translated into the answer you actually need before you click "buy."
- Retail vs OEM
- Retail keys move between machines for life. OEM keys are locked to the first motherboard they activate against.
- Perpetual vs subscription
- Perpetual = pay once, use forever (Office 2024). Subscription = monthly/yearly fee, always latest (Microsoft 365).
- MAK vs KMS
- MAK keys activate online, one per machine. KMS keys check into a server on your network every 180 days.
- Volume licensing
- One key activates many devices. Sold per-seat for businesses with five or more workstations.
- Downgrade rights
- A Windows 11 Pro license legally lets you install Windows 10 Pro instead. Built into every retail SKU we sell.
- CAL (Client Access License)
- Required for each user or device connecting to a Windows Server. We bundle them with every Server SKU.
- ESU (Extended Security Updates)
- Paid patches Microsoft sells after a product's end-of-life. Windows 10 ESU runs through 2028.
- Channel partner vs reseller
- We're an authorized EU resale partner under the UsedSoft v. Oracle doctrine — fully legal, fully transferable.
- Activation grace period
- Windows gives you 30 days, Office 7 days. We deliver keys long before either window closes.
