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

Vergelijking

Windows Server Standard vs Datacenter

Server 2022 Standard vs Datacenter — prijsstelling, virtualisatierechten, Storage Spaces Direct, Shielded VM's en de 12-VM-omslagregel.

De Standard- en Datacenter-edities van Windows Server bevatten hetzelfde kern-besturingssysteem — dezelfde kernel, dezelfde rolbinaries. De verschillen zitten in de virtualisatierechten, de software-defined infrastructure-functies en de prijs.

De eenvoudige regel: minder dan 12 VM's op de host → Standard. Meer dan 12 VM's of behoefte aan software-defined networking / Shielded VM's → Datacenter.

Veelgestelde vragen

Kan ik Standard-licenties stapelen voor meer VM's?

Ja. Elke extra 16-core Standard-licentie op dezelfde volledig gelicenseerde host voegt 2 extra OSE's toe. Na circa 6 gestapelde licenties is Datacenter goedkoper.
