Requirements for VLK usage?

[ChrisH]

What do you need to be allowed to use VLK versions of XP and Such?

VLK meaning Volume License Key?

I would imagine a Volume License (Schools Agreement, MOLP or Select) would do.

[Geoff]

Your in Lancs so you should be able VLK's and media from the Westfield centre.

[ChrisH]

I was hoping that was the case Geoff thx I shall give them a ring and see if it is so....

Would be handy to know a bit of how it works in lancs - privately if needed as our county is a touch confusing at times with MS licensing

They have given me a VLK and offered me a copy of the software for £5 so all is well .

[tarquel]

What does that include?

Fiver for a copy of the Volume media - they presume he has a license to use it!!

[mark]

Our [Nathan's and mine] local authority charge us an admin fee of £12 for a copy of the CD, and we have to return that to them.

What a swiz! One of the above mentioned folks was in our school the other week, let me have a couple of cds I was missing! They're only copies mind - do any other Lancs people find that they don't last very long from Westfield? Or is it just me not treating them with the care and respect they deserve

Indeed ^^

Beats the £20 they charged me for a copy of Server 2003 which wasnt even an original!

I convert everything to ISO's as soon as I get them. CD's just aren't reliable.

@Chris: Ramesys are cheaper for teh Select licenses and if you buy enough they'll chuck in extra licenses and GENUINE media kits for free!

[andy]

Been buying licenses and CDs from Civica - CDs are 20 quid, but are originals - also convert them to ISOs immediately!
