| 200614 | 2003-12-15 02:18:00 | A quick question if I buy a COA for windows xp/2000 does that mean I can borrow anyone's cd to install or do you have to own cd and coa? Cheers Not looking to pirate just want to upgrade and have seen coa's for sale. |

| 200615 | 2003-12-15 02:36:00 | Good question. From Microsoft: How can I prove I am legally licensed? For Full Packaged Products, you should be able to produce: All physical media supplied when you bought the software, such as the CD-ROM The accompanying physical documents The End User Licence Agreement (EULA), if supplied as a hard copy The Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from the box Your invoice - this should list the software title and full details of what was supplied, and the stock-keeping unit number For pre-installed software (OEM licences), you should be able to produce: The physical documents The End User Licence Agreement (EULA), if supplied as a hard copy The Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from the PC chassis, the manual covers, the original CDs or their documentation; or separate COA documents Your invoice - this should list the software title and full details of what was supplied, and the stock-keeping unit number For volume licences, you should be able to produce: The Licence Agreement The Licence Confirmation document (paper or email) Your original invoice, with details of what software was ordered under the agreement I think buying a COA would only be vailid if you have a volume licence agreement with MS? |
