    Hi guys, recently I found out a seller in a forum selling genuine key for MS software for bout like USD$33. Is that possible?

    Somehow, a person question him whether the key is MSDN key? So, now I wonder, what is a MSDN key? All I know bout MSDN is a MS library. So, could anyone explain to me bout this key?

    If the key is legal, then I would consider purchasing it or otherwise!

    An MSDN key can't be sold, so no, it's not legal.

    MSDN is the Microsoft Software Developers' Network, an online resource for Microsoft products, tutorials, and help forums for programmers interested in learning new skills pertaining to the company's products. Subscription to MSDN has many perks, but it costs money.

    If a deal is too good to be true, it's probably a scam.
