shanenin Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Is their any legal constaints that involve selling a windows XP disc without a COA? This would be useful for people who have a COA on their computer, but no disk to do reinstalls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 You can copy an original CD for your own use but I do believe it is illegal to sell a copy of XP. If you were to sell the original disk with the COA it would be legal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Since you're not providing them a license anyway, why not just give them a copy of an XP OEM disc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Schusterjo Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well, you have to be MS certified, get certified and you can copy all day long.Been such a long time, I can't tell you exactly what cert it is but you will need to start here.http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams...e/findexam.mspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
