  What’s a grey market office key

    If I understand it correctly, Microsoft sells discounted keys to organizations as part of their Volume Licensing for businesses.

    Some places on the internet take advantage of that, and sell the keys individually.

      More likely it is a key purchased with a stolen credit card. Do not use gray markets

        Highly unlikely. The grey market keys are clearly for large companies. You couldn’t purchase thousands of keys with a stolen credit card.
