Selling work PCs loaded with volume licensed OS but stills has oem sticker

At the practical level, if these PCs are using KMS to authenticate, that's eventually going to fail. At the very least you'd need to change the license key but....that won't work. So, it's either a re-install or wipe and hand them an ISO with the PC.

We have a bunch of old PC's that we want to auction off.  It is the standard way off getting rid of equipment for this organization.  These pc's all have their original OEM Win7 stickers, but were sometime later loaded and licences with the organizations Volume Win7 License.  They want these pc's to be operational, without spending to much time doing it.  Can we just uninstall our ms office suite and sell them as is without causing problems with our MS Win7  Volume license.
I am not concerned with the need to wipe to hide proprietary data.  Just does MS or the Law care about the licensing aspect of this scenario.
Thanks!

  • How to Sideload WinRT App in WinRT 8/8.1 Machine with Volume License Key

    Hi,
    I think I dont quite follow the documentations on Sideloading base on the following links :
    The documentations are base on Development-PC is joined to the Enterprise Domain.
    Configure PCs for Sideloading Requirements
    a) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/jj874388.aspx
    b)
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx#SideloadingRequirements
    What about the case of developing app on PC that not joined to the Enterprise Domain?
    We use the following method to write ,install and test App.
    1. We use VS 2012 Express for windows 8 and the PC is not joined to Enterprise Domain.
    2. After WinRT App and package created, We install the it in WinRT 8/8.1 machine without Volume License key this way.
    -2.1- Copy the AppPackage in WinRT8/8.1 machine.
    -2.2- Right click the Add-AppDevPackage of the WinRT app and run the powershell to install the app
    3. This kind of installation, the WinRT app has expiry date.
    Now, we have these questions on Installing App with Volume License Key
    Base on these conditions : 
    - We develop LOB App for businesses
    - assume we bought the license volume key
    - We develop WinRT App on VS 2012 Express for Windows 8 on PC not joined to Enterprise Domain
    - We need to install the App in 5 WinRT 8/8.1 machines that belong to our customer
    a) How to install WinRT App under this Condition? Please explain the steps.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    First of all, you must sideload the product key. You can enable sideloading for these scenarios by using the Windows Software Licensing Management Tool (Slmgr.vbs) and performing the following steps for each targeted device:
    1. Add the sideloading product activation key to the device by running the following command from an elevated command prompt (where <sideloading product key> is the 25-digit sideloading product activation key):
    Slmgr /ipk <sideloading product key>
    2. Activate the sideloading product activation key by running the following command from an elevated command prompt:
    Slmgr /ato ec67814b-30e6-4a50-bf7b-d55daf729d1e

  • New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of earlier purchases say they are not "authorized" on this computer even though the bulk of my library works-- this is only about 5% of the total but were all purchased 9/18/2008 or before?

    New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
    They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
    Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
    This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Rebuilding OEM device with Volume License image

    Hello,
    I built a Windows 8 Pro device with Volume License media to allow people in the organisation to evaluate but now I want to return this to its original state so it can be given to charity. 
    I have tried rebuilding this using a default media VL USB stick but it doesn't seem to be able to pick up the OEM product key that I assume is stored in the BIOS.
    Do I need to rebuild this device using OEM/Retail media for it to detect the built in key or is there another way to do this using the VL media I already have?
    Many thanks,
    Tony

    Ahh OK that makes sense.  Thanks for clearing that up guys. 
    I am sure a recovery partition was there before I rebuilt it but in theory then, does this mean if I rebuilt this using OEM or Retail media of the same edition it would pick up the product key or is it coded to only recognise OEM media from the
    actual manufacturer of the hardware?
    I know with Windows 7 you can happily use an OEM key with retail media and vice versa as long as the edition is the same - does anyone know if this is the case with Windows 8?
    It would be good to know for future reference.

    - The iPod uses the location of a nerby or connected router to determine it location based on a database of routers and their location. It appears that the routers near y are not in Appl'es database.  As of yet, nobody here seems to know how to get routers added to the database.
    - If you go to Strtbucks. McDonalds or another networks does the location show in the Maps app?

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    Unless you bought the iPad directly from Apple in the last couple of weeks, you likely cannot exchange your 3G for the 4G.

  • It doesn�t work lazy loading with remote client (toplink)

    I am trying to use lazy loading in a @ManyToOne field but I get an exception. I have been reading in some oracle tutorials that it's necesary use -javaagent:.../lib/toplink-essentials-agent.jar for that it works because this argument activate dynamic weaving in JavaSE. I have put this command line argument javaagent but it doesn't work. Why? Can I have to do another thing? I have done a lot of tests in base to comments read in another forums but I only obtains an exception.
    Caused by: java.io.IOException: Mismatched serialization UIDs
    NOTE: The server use toplink and the remote client query the entitties through a session bean of the server. Besides, I am using Glassfish (Sun application server and toplink).
    Thanks in advance.
    hayken

    At first, thank you for your reply.
    I know that I haven´t explained the problem too well. I have a stateless bean with one remote method that execute a query an returns an entity like this
    @Entity
    public class ModuloEntity extends Serializable
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long idModulo;
    private String nombre;
    @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name="IdProyecto")
    private ProyectoEntity proyecto;
    The remote client invoke this method and in that moment I get this exception.

    If I look the server log, I can see that the call has not been produced, it doesn´t show any exception. It looks that the object managed by the server and the remote client aren´t the same and the corba service doesn´t work when remote client call session method. If I change the ModuloEntity and remove the fetch attribute then all this process executes correctly. The problem is in this attribute.
    NOTE: I am using the javaagent command line argument.

  • Deploying CS6 products with volume licensing serial

    Hello,
    My company has volume licensing for CS6 Design and Web Premium and I am currently trying to create a Citrix streamed package of Photoshop only.  I start the install, select only to install Photoshop and it completes fine but now I am at the following screen.  How would one go about deploying this in an enterprise?  Thanks.
