BatchFile Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I've just seen this for sale: Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 64Bit English 1pk CD/DVD OEM (CCQ-00128) - dabs.com (Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 64Bit English 1pk CD/DVD OEM Mfr#: CCQ-00128) - it's only £33 which is the cheapest Windows license I've seen for some time. Short version: Can I use this to license a PC under EES? Long Version: EES gives us *upgrade* licenses for all our PCs to Windows 7 (or XP)* but there has to be a "base" (OEM, retail etc.) license to upgrade from - you can't just buy a PC with no OS license and use it under EES. I'm just wondering if the above product can be used as a base license.
sted Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 not 100% sure because thats a server lic dosent ees need to be a workstaion lic to "upgrade"
BatchFile Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Hmmm I'm not sure either which is why I posted here... if it is allowed it could save hundreds when we replace a computer room this summer...
Blue_Cookeh Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Would you not be better off purchasing PCs with OEM licenses on from someone like Dell?
BatchFile Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 *ahh well, it was a nice idea while it lasted! I couldn't find that document for the life of me:doh:
