dodgy coa sticker question

Windows 7 COA stickers on OEM PC's are for 'OEM' licences and are not transferable when the PC dies.

Windows 7 COA stickers for retail editions were usually stuck to the DVD jewel case or part of a jewel case insert. These licences are transferable.

Windows 7 COA stickers for refurbished PC's should be stuck to PC's case close to the original COA sticker but in my experience often came stapled to the invoice from the MAR (Microsoft Approved Refurbisher) for the device. These licences are not transferable.

I'm happy to be proved wrong but in many years of bulk imaging hundreds, if not thousands, of OEM devices with Volume Licensed replacements of their original OEM OS installs, I've never once seen any device come with a COA sticker marked Volume Licensing, only 'OA' (or 'MAR' for refurbs). Windows 7 Volume Licencing was only for use within the business/organisation that had a business agreement with Microsoft and not transferable.

I'm aware that there was also a System Builder licence for small manufacturers but I've never seen one (although I believe the included COA sticker showed 'OEM'). If I remember correctly, Microsoft put a stop to the scheme when System Builder DVDs were being sold with parts like optical drive audio cables as a way to circumvent Microsoft's licensing terms at the time. AFAIK System Builder 'OEM' licences were not transferable, even if you transferred the part they were originally purchased with.

Hope this helps....

 

dodgy coa sticker question

i belive this is going a totaly different direction i expected

i know the difference between oem and retail or volume licence , the problem is the sticker say windows 7 pro oa oem software but key checked via show key plus program list this key as windows 7 all volume editions volume mak and i am not sure if that is a coincidence that i mannaged to type in volume mak key that is similar to my sticker key, syicker key got rebranded as volume licence after binding it to microsoft account or was it a fraud sticker with volume key printed on oem blank coa sticker and i didn't noticed that before because everything was working on old pc

i was thinking of upgrading my oem pc with few things that may or may not make the broken pc unrecognizable by microsoft and use "this computer hardware has changed recently" option in troubleshooting
where i live this sorts of upgrade is regarded by law as legal as if this was the same computer with windows 10 digital licence it was however reworked to work only once per licence if i remember corectly

we had state inspection of software legality at work and few computers upgraded this way passed it as still being legal

 

COA Stickers

I suspect MS support should help here as COA Stickers are usually System builder licenses purchased by Hardware manufacturers. But you can try:
