Stacksocial looks like one of those many dodgy sites selling licenses of questionable origin

How can you be sure they are bona fide Microsoft licenses?



Stacksocial originated that style of selling discounted licenses I think. Been using them for years also


That doesn't answer my question

I'll go out on a limb and just claim they're grey market. Someone can prove me wrong

This seems fairly low effort. I posted stacksocial because they've earned trust and are utilized for fundraising by a number of well known tech sites. I also have my own years of experience with them.

If you have years of different experience with stacksocial, please share that.

Not legitimate in the slightest. If I contacted Microsoft they'd confirm them as an authorised reseller?

I'm not interested in your anecdote when the topic was whether they are bona fide licenses from Microsoft (pretty low effort to not stay on topic I must say)


Yeah, fair enough, I think they probably are grey market
