Question On OEM Windows clean install......

"Flavors" of Windows licenses

Windows can be a little "odd" about license keys. There are at least 4 categories:

• Retail
• OEM
• Volume (electronic download)
• Corporate (no key needed)

For guaranteed success, the license key and media should be in the same category. If you have retail media, you may not be able to install it using an OEM or Volume license key, even though the key is valid for that version of Windows. *Wtf :wtf: Apparently, this is part of Microsoft's anti-piracy scheme (i.e., all customers are guilty until proven innocent).

 

Windows 10 License Key no longer matches BIOS OEM key

We have been mass deploying new Lenovo Windows 10 PCS, using the Sysprep utility to prepare the image for mass deployment. The biggest concern we had going in was that we preserve the OEM license key.

This seemed to be working fine, we created our base image, sysprep'd the machine and captured the image. After deploying the image to a new PC, we went through the setup wizard, licensing, personalization, etc. and checked to make sure the OEM key was still
in place (it was). After initial deployment we inevitably had additional Windows Updates which we applied before putting them into production.

We deployed 25 or so PCs in this manner and without warning the 5 most recent roll outs are reporting a Microsoft License Key which is different than the BIOS stored OEM key. The one thing we did differently on these 5 machines was that we connected to them
with RDP to do the final setup before putting them into production.

When I tried to recreate this issue to see what step was causing the License key to change I was unable to recreate the failure. I followed the same steps we used on previous deployments, stopping at each step along the way to check and compare the license
keys. I did these tests directly on the PC as opposed to RDP.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this, how to prevent it or is there any cause for concern?

Thanks,

Brian

 

Windows 10 OEM License Terms

Can i buy and use OEM license for my personal use as i you know that OEM licenses are for system builders . can system builders sell the product keys without giving builded system . OEM keys + DVD are available on different resellers websites . can i buy
from them and use it. I have read this on microsoft faq that


Q. What are the different ways in which Microsoft OEM system builder Windows desktop operating system licenses can be distributed?

A. The current OEM System Builder License allows system builders to distribute Windows desktop operating system licenses in the following ways:

• Preinstalled on a new PC.
• Unopened OEM System Builder Packs can be distributed to other system builders by themselves. Note that they must remain unopened so the receiving system builder can accept and be bound by the break-the-seal license agreement that is affixed
  to the pack.

Now please elaborate. I know that OEM keys only be used on only one system tied to it but is there any license terms that disallow it?
