Mrjcool30... this software is an upgrade, meaning it would not have been originally sold with a hardware package. Also, since the entire software package (cases, discs, keys) is being sold, it is a legitimate software auction. A sale of solely a serial number or activation key would be against the rules.
Yes there is a product key. On the outside of the box it has "DVD included 32 and 64 bit discs inside." I never used the disks or registered the software. Hope that helps!
Correct, I bought this to upgrade FROM Vista to 7. This will upgrade only from VISTA according to the packaging. Hope that helps. I am not a computer tech...
