KeyFinder Discusion (argument)

[Kodiak]

I have no reason to apologize I've used both programs and both programs clearly say the generated number only comes from a bootable drive, slaved drives are not bootable unless they were set as a dual boot option where the 2nd os was installed on the slave drive. now NooNoo do your thang as you put it this discussion was closed.

All I know is I went to file/select source/and pointed it to an external windows directory (slave drive) and it found all the keys in that directory. Drive had been bootable at one time. It was a full os on it but iit just wouldn't bootup on any system. Argument again was can it be done not what the documentation said and YES it can. I myself didn't see that in any documentation. And BTW I value honest helpful opinions to and I have seen you give many.

Wow. I have used MJB for years now, and yes, I have learned to use it from a CD, so some AV program doesn't delete it as a "positive". I will NOT help a customer to pirate any software....not what I use it for.

I thought everyone used it the way Kodiak said.

couldn't resist....

That was so funny my sides ache

So what hardware did you sell the customer with that OEM copy of Windows?

[Niclo Iste]

Secretly I use it to take CD Keys and sell them on the black market. I'm rich beyond comparison. Actually I just use it when the client has no idea what they did with the CD key and they have other things to prove they bought it. Yes I've dealt with people handing me a receipt and them saying well this is proof I bought it won't that work with the program. Funny how some are so organized they can keep a reciept from 3 years ago but they can't find the big envelope that held the shiny disk inside. I think overall I've used it 5 times since discovering the program. Two times for myself so I can reinstall an old game and I can't find my key in my stack of junk I tossed it into.

NooNoo, I do not believe its is any of your buisness it does comply with OEM standards.

The licence is that it must be sold with hardware. I just wanted to know what hardware you supplied with that copy for $155. Just curious.

Hahahahahaha!!! Thanks, I really needed that, Niclo! Mind if I "steal" that idea, or will I have to use MJB?

$5 mouse=hardware

[slgrieb]

Sorry, CeeBee, but that OEM sale is only valid with a "non-peripheral" piece of hardware. Guess that must have been a Microsoft Bus Mouse

It used to be a legal loophole where you could bundle OEM with a cable or mouse or keyboard... They closed it few years ago.
XP OEM can be purchased however from resellers

Yes, I'm aware newegg sells OEM versions, but if you look at the specifications tab, they state very clearly that you must comply with the MS System Builder License Agreement.

If I recall correctly and I'm not sure if this was against the rules but I recall my old boss selling an OEM of windows with a 2 dollar dead hard drive.
