Can a key code be perchased?

I don't think so. You're supposed to receive a key code after you
register for the download of the trial version.

I would just recommend purchasing full license along with appropriate media
licensing from one ot the following locations:
http://www.directron.com/winxpx64.html
http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16837102034

arg, misinterpreted. I thought he meant a key to turn the trial version into
the full version. Sorry, I agree with Rick, a key code should be e-mailed to
you when you register to download the trial.

I would just go with the above method, since you would have had to purchase
the key anyway.

Nichts, Nein, and Hell No!

You can do a 'Repair Install" with a properly licensed OEM version, but
that's about it.

Unfortunatly not. It seems such an obvious way to tackle piracy, by
making the files downloadable, and the keys purchasable online, skip all
the middlemen, buy direct from MS, without the support (which most of us
here never use anyway).

I wonder why MS don't do this, it's so obvious.. Xp64 key for $99, ISO
to download....

The big source of illegal distribution of copyrighted software is through
corporate environments, if you take a close look at most pirated versions of
Windows and Office, its volume license, OEM software comes in a distant
second.

I was referring to the high cost of OEM software. Cutting out all the
middlemen would mean MS couls sell it for a higher price that what they
sell to the middlemen, and the clued up home user could buy the OEM key
from Microsoft for much less than a retail boxed copy, with MS having
none of the support commitments (those commitments I end up paying for
but never want...)

When you buy Office and Windows, I read, what you are really paying for is
the CD and packaging. I think Jupiter can confirm this, we had discussed it
a few post back.

I though it was When you buy windows or office from the shop you might be
getting the physical media but its the serial and licence your paying for to
use the product.

Yes, there is some cost that comes with that, since its intellectual
property, but remember, you are only licensing it (renting) for use.
