Reusable Windows Key For Small PC Business

VitrasSlade · Nov 11, 2015

Something I want to do soon is start my own little business of building customized PCs for people locally. But when it comes to the OS (just windows 7 for now), it gets a bit expensive.

Now I know there are some kind of corporate or business licenses that can be used on multiple PCs at once, but I can't find anything on it to research as Microsoft's page is a labyrinth. Would it be to expensive/impractical for this?

Or would I be better off buying individual licenses for each PC? And if so, is there anywhere reliable that I can purchase them at a low price?

Building and selling PCs is not a corporate/business license. That would be illegal.It is system builder OEM. That disk you buy for $100 instead of paying for retail. That's it. There is no reusable key. Every system must have its own key and license.

You're thinking of a volume license key. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/Licensing/existing-customer/FAQ-product-activation.aspx

As Unksol says, that's not for building and selling PCs, that's for a large corporation to use on PCs used internally within that organisation.

Yeah, I wasn't really sure what kind of licenses I should be asking about even after trying to research it, so I figured someone on here would understand. As for system builder OEM, is there a good site for purchasing them? I found some on Amazon, but it said something about being intended for refurbished PCs. Does that mean I wouldn't be able to legally put it on a newly assembled computer, or does it mean something different?

I don't know a good place to buy licenses, I work in IT for the public sector in the UK, and government/public sector licensing is is very different to what you're looking to do. Hopefully someone else will come along and give a suggestion.

I would suggest taking a look here:

I have not bought any product keys there myself, but a reputable seller there should be able to provide Windows or Office product keys at a very manageable price.

That actually looks really promising. I'll try it for the next PC I build. Thanks.
