Resolving G2A software issues
Resolving G2A software issues
Honestly in 2 years windows 8 won't be relevant, so why bother? I use for my personal keys, the ones my university give me. I used them in both proper and not recommended ways (giving them out to relatives) And there is no problem with it, as the license doesn't get checked or shutdown at all, after 3 years the license expires and the university gives you new keys to update the system. When I had one of my systems with Windows 7 expire (I use W8.1 on the main rig), I just update the new key. G2A uses similar keys most of the times, if it expires just buy another one, it's much cheaper and you shouldn't be using the same OS for 5 years+ anyway.
Thus, when G2A ends, only the intermediary gets removed. The sellers' MSDN account remains active and they can continue selling keys elsewhere without it. To be clear, I'm not endorsing illegal purchases; it's simply more affordable. If I had bought Windows correctly, I'd have had to cut back on my PC power to stay within budget.
This point seems completely illogical. Sacrificing your PC's performance just to fit within a budget is already problematic. The operating system should be purchased outside of any budget constraints, no matter how tight. Whether a new intermediary is discovered or not doesn't matter. Windows could simply target G2A and then move on to the next middleman.
This would lead to 120 in a year, which is pricier than a complete standard certified option.
Yeah, I don't think you should do that unless it only works for a day. If it costs £10 and I’ll pay the full amount, I’ll go ahead. But there’s a possibility it could last longer, so why not take the risk?
