Is LicenseVault legitimate?

Yes. LicenseVault is an independent EU-based reseller of genuine Microsoft retail keys. Every key is first-use or fully transferred and activates against Microsoft's own activation servers. Resale is lawful under the EU exhaustion-of-distribution-rights doctrine established by the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-128/11 (UsedSoft v Oracle, 2012).

How fast is delivery?

Typical delivery is under 10 minutes, 24/7. The 90-day average is approximately 8 minutes. Keys are released automatically by email after Stripe captures payment.

What is the refund policy?

14-day free return on every purchase under EU Directive 2011/83/EU. Selected category landings offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If a key ever fails to activate, LicenseVault replaces it free of charge for the lifetime of the product.

Are the keys region-locked?

No. Microsoft retail product keys are not region-locked. A key purchased from LicenseVault activates Windows, Office, Server, SQL or Visual Studio in any Microsoft-supported language and country.

Why is LicenseVault cheaper than the Microsoft Store?

LicenseVault sources surplus retail and unused volume keys through authorised EU resale channels and operates without first-party retail overhead. The keys are identical genuine Microsoft retail product keys — not OEM stickers, not MAK-shared, not grey-market.

Which payment methods are accepted?

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and instant SEPA / bank transfer — all via Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1, TLS 1.3).

In which languages is LicenseVault available?

The storefront is available in English, Spanish, German and French. Customer support replies in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic. The daily magazine publishes in 22 languages.

Comparativa

Office 2024 vs LibreOffice

Office 2024 vs LibreOffice in 2026: file compatibility, Excel features, performance, support and the real cost of going free.

LibreOffice is free, open-source, and good enough for casual document editing. Office 2024 costs €34.90 here but wins decisively on Excel feature parity, file fidelity when sharing .docx and .xlsx, and PowerPoint output.

If you exchange files with Microsoft Office users daily, Office 2024 pays for itself the first time a formula or chart breaks in translation.
