ChrisH Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 What do you need to be allowed to use VLK versions of XP and Such?
Ric_ Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 VLK meaning Volume License Key? I would imagine a Volume License (Schools Agreement, MOLP or Select) would do.
Geoff Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Your in Lancs so you should be able VLK's and media from the Westfield centre.
ChrisH Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 I was hoping that was the case Geoff thx I shall give them a ring and see if it is so....
tarquel Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 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 Regards Nath.
ChrisH Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 They have given me a VLK and offered me a copy of the software for £5 so all is well .
tarquel Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 £5?? thats a bit cheap aint it? lol What does that include? Nath.
ConTheITGuy Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Fiver for a copy of the Volume media - they presume he has a license to use it!!
MkII Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 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.
ConTheITGuy Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 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 Andy.
ChrisH Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 Fiver for a copy of the Volume media - they presume he has a license to use it!! 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.
Ric_ Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 @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!
ConTheITGuy Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Been buying licenses and CDs from Civica - CDs are 20 quid, but are originals - also convert them to ISOs immediately!
tarquel Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Beats the £20 they charged me for a copy of Server 2003 which wasnt even an original! i got sum originals for £16 - not from county that is mark - powys knows they wont be getting the £12 copies back lol N.
Ric_ Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I got media kits for Server 2003, Exchange 2003 Enterprise, ISA 2004, Office 2003 Pro and Visio 2003 Pro for free along with a free license for Visio Pro and 6 SQL CALs! Saved me a couple of hundred quid nearly!
