General Questions

What is Official Keys Hub?
Official Keys Hub is a trusted provider of genuine Microsoft software licenses including Windows, Office, Server, and other Microsoft products. We offer authentic product keys at competitive prices with instant delivery and lifetime support.
Are your product keys genuine?
Yes, 100% genuine! All our product keys are sourced from authorized Microsoft distributors and partners. Every key is authentic, legal, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. We never sell pirated or illegal software.
How quickly will I receive my product key?
Instant delivery! Most orders are processed within 5 minutes. You'll receive your product key via email and WhatsApp immediately after payment confirmation. Our automated system ensures the fastest possible delivery.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayPal, Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other major payment methods. All transactions are secured with 256-bit SSL encryption for your safety.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes! We offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 30 days if your product key doesn't work. We'll either replace the key immediately or issue a full refund - no questions asked.

Product Activation

How do I activate my Windows or Office key?
Activation is simple: 1) Install Windows/Office from Microsoft's official website, 2) Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation (Windows) or File > Account (Office), 3) Click 'Change product key', 4) Enter your key, 5) Click 'Activate'. Full instructions are included with your purchase.
What's the difference between Online Key, Bind Key, and Phone Key?
Online Key: Activates via Microsoft servers (requires internet). Bind Key: Permanently linked to your Microsoft account for easy reinstalls. Phone Key: Can be activated by calling Microsoft (works offline). All are genuine, just different activation methods.
Can I reinstall Windows/Office with the same key?
Yes! Your license is valid for lifetime. You can reinstall on the same device as many times as needed. For major hardware changes, you may need to reactivate by phone (free Microsoft service).
My key says 'already activated' - what should I do?
Contact us immediately via WhatsApp or email. This rarely happens, but we'll replace your key within minutes at no extra cost. We guarantee all keys work on first activation.
Can I activate offline?
Yes, with Phone Keys! Call Microsoft's automated activation line, enter the installation ID displayed on your screen, and receive an activation code. It's free and takes about 5 minutes.

Licensing & Usage

Can I use one key on multiple computers?
No, each license is for ONE device only (unless specified as multi-device like Office 365). Using one key on multiple PCs simultaneously violates Microsoft's terms and will cause activation failures.
Can I transfer my license to a new computer?
Yes! Retail licenses can be transferred. Uninstall from the old PC, then install and activate on the new one. For best results, use the phone activation method if you get an error.
What's the difference between Retail, OEM, and Volume licenses?
Retail: Transferable between PCs, full Microsoft support. OEM: Tied to first PC, limited support. Volume: For businesses, requires Volume Licensing Service Center. We primarily sell Retail keys for maximum flexibility.
Are these lifetime licenses?
Yes! One-time payment, lifetime validity (except Office 365 which is annual subscription). No recurring fees, no expiration. You own the license forever.
Can I upgrade from Home to Pro with my key?
No, you need a Pro key to upgrade. However, we sell upgrade keys at competitive prices. Contact us for special upgrade pricing if you already have a Home license.

Technical Support

What if my key doesn't work?
Contact us immediately! We provide 24/7 support via WhatsApp and email. We'll troubleshoot with you, and if the key truly doesn't work, we'll replace it instantly or refund you fully.
Do you provide installation help?
Yes! We include detailed PDF guides with screenshots. If you need personal assistance, our support team is available 24/7 via WhatsApp to guide you through the process step-by-step.
How long is support available?
Lifetime! We don't disappear after the sale. As long as you have your product key, we'll help you with any activation or technical issues - forever.
Can you help with activation errors?
Absolutely! Common errors like 0xC004C003, 0xC004F074, or 'This key didn't work' are usually fixable. Contact us and we'll guide you through the solution or provide a replacement key.
Do you offer remote assistance?
Yes, for complex issues we can provide remote assistance via TeamViewer or AnyDesk (with your permission). This service is free for our customers.

What's the difference between Office 2021 and Office 365?
Office 2021: One-time purchase, works offline, no cloud features, fixed to that version. Office 365: Annual subscription, includes 1TB OneDrive, always updates to latest version, cloud features. Choose based on your needs.

Can I use Windows 7 keys in 2026?
Yes, the key will activate Windows 7. However, Microsoft ended support in 2020. We recommend upgrading to Windows 10 or 11 for security updates. Keys still work for legacy systems or virtual machines.
