iceangel89 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 i noticed that my Windows XP Professional SP2 licence provided by my school cannot be used by the XP source i already have? it only works with the image provided by the school. is there a difference in this XP sources? like normal retail vs VLK or corporate or OEM?
cluberti Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 This has been discussed here (and elsewhere) many times, but I won't harp on you for not searching this time because I'm in a good mood .Yes, retail, VLK, and OEM (and there's even differences in OEM versions, royalty OEM vs retail OEM) are all different and take different product keys.
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 And just for a little more clarification..."royalty" OEM meaning it was sold with a computer from a vendor such as Dell, HP, Acer, etc.Also, "corporate" and VLK are one in the same. There's really no such thing as a "corporate" license...that's just another name people have given to the Volume License Keys/Media. If I'm not mistaken, you can purchase a few as 10 licenses under the VLK.
