Aren't these volume licensed and thus not allowed to be sold?

Maybe it is, but it's not disallowed by the forum rules.

Well, considering that just the key is useless afaik without a licensing server, how do you plan on activating with this key?

VLK copies consists of two parts. One, the key. Two, the license server which deals with the licensing of the software.
It's great to sell the key, but the software needs to be activated by a license server.

Never heard of this. Normally a key gets activated at Microsoft, who obviously have servers.

Do you have any links to provide more info for what you're referring to, coz a Google search didn't bring up anything.

Volume licence use KMS servers for activation.
What basically happens is Microsoft let big corporations have a licencing server on the local domain behind the firewall. Software is activated as needed, and once a year Microsoft will do a TrueUp by validating how many licences the corporation has vs how many are active on the domain.

There are a few illegal KMS servers on the WWW which if Microsoft pickup will then blacklist all the keys linked to that illegal KMS server.

o.o
For Office: I usually just go to Activate, a prompt asks for the key, validates the key, then another prompt asks for email login?
I have one of each left. Non-retail.
With volume licensing, don't you use one key for several PC's? All my keys are different.

In that case, it is quite possibly a MAK-based VLK. With MS doing the server side.
But all VLK-keys are someone else's keys, and owned by an organization, not the holder of the key. The organization could revoke the key at any time they find out that there is more activations (that they have already paid for) than what they are using.

This has happened before on Carb with the key-seller take a financial hit to reimburse the people who's activation failed.

I was actually one of them (won't mention any names), but the above explains what exactly went down - at least he found a working key on the third attempt. I have been lucky it seems, and I upgraded to Windows 10 as well with the 8.1 key.

Either way I was never gonna pay the full price for Windows, so this was the lesser of 2 evils.

My eyesight isn't the greatest despite that dude behind that eye machine saying I have 20/20 vision - but...The OP hasn't mention the jeys being VLK keys or did he?

Perhaps these are MAK keys - which would make more sense.

Both Enterprise and Office Pro Plus is only available for volume license sales.
VLK is no more and has been replaced by MAK and KMS since Vista. So when saying VLK, I am implying a volume license with either MAK or KMS activation. My bad on the terminology.
