Or alternatively, where such may otherwise be sourced (particularly looking for Windows XP [professional])? There free with every copy of XP pro oem Hi, Thanks. Perhaps I didn't explain very well. This particular retailer was selling "reclaimed" or "recycled" COA stickers - as a licence for use of the software. In other words, they were, for example, as I understand it, buying (probably bulk) COA stickers for Windows operating systems (perhaps from PC's that were being junked, recycled without the O/S, being upgraded with a new full licensed OS, etc.) which they would then resell and you or I could then use as a legal license for that piece of software. Much like an OEM copy but with only a second-hand (but legitimate) COA sticker (with product / CD key) and no manual or physical CD media. Hope that clarifies, helps, explains, etc. Best wishes, News Reader |

However, try uk.adverts.computer - they often pop up for sale in that NG. Jason Russell |

It's immaterial in this case, because they surely will not be selling COAs! -- [Davism - a condition by which the sufferer experiences an inability to give concise answers, express reasoned argument or opinion.
