I recently bought several copies of what was described as "Windows XP
Professional OEM". What I got were copies of Windows XP Professional with
a volume license key printed on a sticker attached to the back of the CD
sleeve and a mailing label which said "Windows XP FULL VERSION" stuck over
the "For distribution with a new Panasonic PC only" sticker on the front of
the book. There is no COA (due to the volume license key I am guessing).
Anyway, the company I bought them from has agreed to take back the unopened
ones (I luckily only opened one), but is this type of sale legal? I
thought a volume license meant you had to use it within your own
organization and couldn't resell them to just anyone out on the street?
Just curious, I don't want to have Microsoft beating down my door simply
because someone didn't mention something on their website (there was no
mention at all of the volume license key being used here... I wouldn't have
bought them then).
