Windows 10: Is OEM License Legit?

Hi,


I searched online for Windows 10 Home License and there is a huge difference in prices on various websites.

It ranges from INR 385 (USD5.36) to INR 9299 (USD 129.54).


I am so confused! Some shops and Amazon sellers are offering Retail license for around INR 7500 (USD 104.50). One seller on Amazon is offering Professional license for INR 6500 (USD 90.61) which I am very interested in.


Also OEM Licenses are available online from INR 1000 (USD 13.94) to INR 3500 (USD 41.81).


Coming to the question; I am not an Original Equipment Manufacturer, so is it legal for me to buy, install and use an OEM License? And is it legal for the seller to sell the OEM License to me?


I know the difference in features between OEM and Retail Licenses but I will be okay with OEM if it is legit.


Another question which may sound stupid, Can Windows 10 Home license be used commercially?


USD 5.36 / INR 385 - https://www.dealkartindia.com/produ...iginal-retail-lifetime-licence-for-1-pc-user/


USD 90.61 / INR 6500 - https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0111YEG44/ref=twister_B06XRH6K13?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1


USD 43.18 / INR 3100 - https://www.amazon.in/Microsoft-Win...ds=windows+10&qid=1567066869&s=gateway&sr=8-3


It would be of great help if someone could help verify the genuineness of the Software being sold at above links.

Windows 10 OEM Licensing

Hi

I have a few questions about windows 10 OEM licensing:

1. Is OEM licensing acceptable for business use?
2. What restrictions does OEM licensing have other than the transfer rights?
3. Can the OS be reloaded without breaching the license agreement, and if so, can I also replace the HDD with an SSD?
4. What other hardware upgrades can be done under OEM licensing?
5. What would be a breach of OEM licensing?
6. What benefits would a business get if they move to Microsoft 365 vs OEM?

Thanks in advace

 

Oem and retail license

Hi,

You may look at envelope and its content. Boxes have USB inside. OEM - DVD.

If you are suggested to buy OEM with electronic delivery, this highly likely is spoofing.

There are to classes OEM - DOEM (Direct OEM) and ordinary OEM.

The first is a large bunch of licenses Microsoft sells to large computer producers - HP, ASUS and so on. Such licenses will no distributed separately, only with computers.

An ordinary OEM is a cardboard package with installer's license sticked on it. Can you imagine a way to download it? I can't.

 

OEM Licensing

Hi there,

We are system builders, deploying lots of devices that are running Windows 10.

Currently, we must obtain OEM licensing from a reseller, and require being sent a USB for each licence we require.

We would like access to the facility to:

• Purchase Windows licenses for resale in bulk at a discount
• Deploy with OEM tools
• Access the licences easily, without having to purchase through another reseller or require USB drives being sent out to us

I have spent a very long time searching through the Microsoft Partners website, as well as reading through forum posts.

I've come across 1 useful post reply from a Microsoft rep that links to all the requirements and certifications of becoming a licence reseller, however the post reply was from 2007, and all the links are broken.

Can anyone please advise:

• Certification requirements of becoming authorised to resell Microsoft licenses
• What method of managing license keys/purchasing is available to these resellers.

Thanks.
