go to the Microsoft store and see what licenses cost, do you think that it would be genuine/legal if its 1/10 the price of a genuine one?

I don't see anything there to indicate that the accusations here of it being illegal or a student version are accurate. Just because an auction has a low reserve doesn't make it so either.

anyway, I believe through special corporate prices you can get them for $10. actually let's just say I know.

also pretty sure it's against EULA to onsell theses

but is it illegal vs trademe policy

or prehaps they just wanted to get rid of them and were happy with what they got

but they are no where near the same thing, like comparing an apple to a water mellon

Because I work for a University and that is what our students can buy it for.

Only 'Pro' edition comes with Outlook etc, and that is what is being advertised in the link above. Was there a buy now? Bidding had long started by the time I looked.
