He was on an extended vacation after he got his massive bonus check for the licensing audit program. Then he came up with windows 10 licensing where its either hardware bound in the ether, or tied to your personal microsoft account, assuming you were the first guy to log in post upgrade, or maybe your reseller account, or hey, maybe its your COA, or its an OEM that may be bound to a COA key, or hardware bound. that guy is fa freaking champ On Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 8:56 PM, Ken Hohhof <[email protected]> wrote: Apparently starting a few months back, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided to cover part of the Product Key on their COA stickers with a silver label and the word Microsoft. Turns out you scratch it off like a lottery ticket, but they neglect to tell you this. So I ended up calling tech support to see if I was supposed to peel off the silver label and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. As soon as I tried to peel a corner with my fingernail, I realized it was scratch-off not a label. Only an issue if you get box software with a COA sticker, I assume not an issue with volume licensing. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
