Good afternoon!
I am tormented by the question, I bought a key on plati.ru for 500 rubles, and I can’t understand whether I did it right or not. How legal is it?
There are no complaints about the seller, the rating is high, I did not really find any comments on the network from where such cheapness came from. Maybe someone will enlighten?

Sent the key to Microsoft - "The key that you specified was provided under a Microsoft Dreamspark subscription. This is a program for providing free access to students and graduate students to licensed Microsoft products. Only users with a Dreamspark subscription can use this software."
So it's pure water. Thanks everyone.

everything is not legal, if they take you by the ass, there will be nothing for the department to argue with you.
