Question: What is the difference between a COA and a Product Key?
I know at this point, I sound like an idiot, but I notice some deals, such as ebay, have COA for sell and Product Keys for sell. However, I don't understand the difference between the 2 being auctioned.
Is a COA the same thing as a Product Key?
For example, can I use a COA to activate a Windows OS instead of a product key?
Again, I know I sound really dumb right now, but I'm really confused over here.
It would be grateful if you have read and answered my question with a good explanation. I have looked online but I see no results between the 2 terms.

Also, 2nd question: Why do COA seals have to be sold with computer parts? I read the policy, but I didn't understand it too well.
