Mike, so you are saying purchase the OEM license then SA/enterprise from my usual source, then use the codes with that?
>>> Mike Hoffman <[email protected]> 9/2/2010 2:32 PM >>> All desktop OS licenses are upgrade only, so you buy with OEM and then add SA if you want enterprise versions. Without SA you don’t get imaging rights, but as long as you have some corporate licence then you can use that media for all installs. For activation you can get a KMS server or use the MAK keys from the MS website. We now have images with the public keys in them so we can use them on all client sites. Have a play with a KMS server – it works really well.

With Windows XP we purchased a license when we procured the workstations. Then we would use our image with our corporate volume key. This way we had the license and the key. So with Windows 7 and licensing, what do you folks do? I don't want to have issues with activation down the road. And we always put our image on PCs/laptops as they arrive.
