I did some reading up, while posting and saw something disturbing, I'm hoping someone can confirm this - Is it a true that even they posses the retail box that says for example "windows 2003 TS 5-cal license" that without the invoice / receipt it is not valid?
The reason I ask is because I recall that when I took over , i had asked them about the TS Cal's and it literally took days to find them, but as stated above they only had the box/package for it , they had no receipts/invoices.

Hi all One of my new clients called me and said they received a letter via Fedex from MS, regarding licensing. In my 15+ years I have never had that occur before , I asked them to email me the letter so I can take a look at it. They only recently (within the last year) gone to Volume Licensing for Windows/Exchange/outlook and TS cals/licensing, all desktops are desktops are OEM licensed. They are also a small company (maybe 40 desktops ) and a handful of servers. Has anyone on here ever been contacted in this manner? Jean-Paul Natola
