I bought my key from here a couple of months ago for like $20 and activating it worked like a charm. I then went to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 using the same key that I bought from G2A and it turns out that it is a pirated key. So, if you are never going to reinstall Windows, then I guess get it but if you are, I would stay away from it.
