    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?

    :)
