Windows 7 came out in 2007, if I remember correctly. That was a time when it wasn’t that uncommon to have a computer without an internet connection.

Honestly, those were better times in that regard…

The key was published in the files. It’s not suspicious to use the key given that it’s public info; it’s not illegal to read the released files.
