    Windows OS Activation Keys


    I have a question regarding the number of activations that a Microsoft OEM Windows Key has. We have a customer that we build PCs for and activate Windows with an OEM key, that is found on a physical envelope with a physical CD. The customer likes to re-image their PCs every year and after a few years of re-imaging they get an error message that they have reached the limit of the activation. Everything that I have researched says that, OEM keys should have unlimited activations as long as the PC was not modified. Can you confirm this or point me in the right direction?

    :)

    I got a activation key and activated on parallels. But the key is not reflecting in my acoount.: I have a doubt. Can two systems get activated using same windows key? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/i-got-a-activation-key-and-activated-on-parallels/d929261a-f6a6-44b2-8ca4-df01f9bb3f44
