   There are sources of discount licenses. People would not be   
   interested in them, unless they were $30 or less. Versus $100   
   or $150 or whatever, at retail.   
      
   It's pretty hard to tell just where these licenses have come   
   from, because Microsoft does not offer a public tool for   
   "lineage" work. I don't think MGAdiag will tell you where they   
   got that license from.   
      
   And these licenses are not VLK, or they'd be broken by now.   
   These are not materials from a "rogue mom and pop computer store".   
   And considering the price, they're not from a MSDN subscription   
   either. With an MSDN subscription, you get some licenses with that.
