Your $10 licenses are not legal. Sorry. Those are sketchy grey market keys. Though Microsoft likely won't go after you for it, so I'm not sure it matters.
You should have just saved the $10 and downloaded a cracked copy.

I'm not going to switch to piracy to avoid some gray market sketchiness, as long as the keys don't seem to be stolen.
