It's the KEY you pay for, not the media. Precisely. Distributing the software isn't illegal (yes I did mean to say LEGAL as per KEN) as per MVP Ken and I am prepared to do just that unless there is a demand for serial numbers then that too can be arranged!

There is always a telephone method to activate your Windows. Have you not done this? This has been around for the past 10 years since Windows XP was first release in 2001.
