Hello!
I work for a company which deals with support contracts for many schools.
One of the issues we have is when these PC's need reformatting and the old
CD's have been lost. Does Microsoft sell XP Pro OEM cd's which aren't
manufacturer locked and don't come with a licence, I'm getting sick of
trying
to get individual CD's for each manchine.
I think it depends on the OEM setup. For instance some IBM XP CDs will work
for many different models of IBM PC. Similar thing for Dell. But I think
the way the licensing works the CDs are keyed generally to the ID chips of a
group of computers that were all licensed for a particular version of XP.
This way you can't use a retail XP Pro disk with an IBM or Dell license key
and vice versa. You can pick up media everywhere. The trick is finding the
media that works with the key on the sticker on the machine.
