Thanks for sharing the firsthand report — instant delivery + successful activation is definitely
better than the typical scam-key experience. That said, with Microsoft licensing, “it activated and updates work”
doesn’t automatically prove the license was properly sourced (a lot of gray-market keys activate normally at first).
Why the low price (€12–€15) still matters
Microsoft themselves warn that when you buy a
product key sold separately (especially very cheap), it can be
stolen/abused/unauthorized and may later be
blocked, even if it activated initially.
Quick way to sanity-check your Windows key (recommended)
On the PC you activated:
- Right-click Start → Terminal (Admin) (or Command Prompt Admin)
- Run:
Code:
slmgr /dli
slmgr /dlv
slmgr /xpr
Look for wording like:
- RETAIL → best case (usually transferable, depending on terms)
- OEM_DM / OEM → typically intended for prebuilt PCs / tied to hardware
- VOLUME_MAK or VOLUME_KMSCLIENT → big red flag for consumer use (these are organizational/volume channels and can get revoked or require periodic reactivation)
This “Retail vs OEM vs Volume” check is commonly used in activation troubleshooting. If you want, paste (or screenshot) the
Description and
Activation Channel lines from
slmgr /dlv (hide the partial product key), and I’ll help interpret it.
About “is Digitlogs legit?”
From public signals, you’ll find
mixed indicators:
- They have a small number of positive Trustpilot reviews (not a guarantee, but a datapoint).
- ScamAdviser rates the domain as “very likely safe,” but also notes things like WHOIS privacy/low traffic.
- Scam-detector-type sites flag it as risky/low trust (these can be noisy, but it’s still another datapoint).
- A UK company record exists for DIGITLOGS LTD (company existence ≠ Microsoft authorization, but it’s better than a totally anonymous storefront).
Practical advice (since you already bought it)
- Keep your invoice/email + payment proof (especially if you used PayPal/credit card).
- If it’s Windows, link the activation to your Microsoft Account (Settings → System → Activation), when possible.
- If you ever see activation warnings later, Microsoft’s guidance is essentially: go back to the seller for refund if the key gets blocked.
If you tell me
which product you bought (Windows 10/11 Home/Pro? Office 2021/2024? and what
slmgr /dlv reports for the activation channel, I can give a much more confident “low risk / medium risk / high risk” assessment.
