Hello, I have been planning to buy a Windows 8.1 or 8 key from G2A.com as they are cheap and seem to work. I have noticed they have recently stopped selling them. Have Microsoft cracked down on G2A or is there something else?

Windows 8.1 Pro: https://www.g2a.com/windows-8-professional-32-64-bit-cd...

Windows 8 Pro: https://www.g2a.com/microsoft-windows-8-professional-32...

If anyone knows what has happened, please could you share the information. Thank you very much.

microsoft put in a secruity patch that detects the hacked pirate versions after you run the windows update. Rather than after 90 days. If you don't find out for 90 days you are more likely to ok your payment than if you find out you got a hacked version the same day you install it. Kind of hurts the pirate sales when the customer tries to back out of their paypal payment. LOL

oh, the technet change will still let you download the image with a pirate key, or banned key. The key is only check for correct syntax and is not used for activation on the download. Activation come in the second step of the process after you have success with the windows install.

There are people using a key generator or selling a key over and over convincing people that the initial download of the OS is the same as activation. (they sell the key, tell people to get the image from microsoft's servers and have have people confirm their paypal accounts when the finish the download but before they install and activate.)
