Vista product keys guarantee kiseki_o_o 10/6/2008 8:57:49 PM Hi. I have some OEM Vista Business DVDs which I haven't used at all, only the seal opened so that the product key is visible. The thing is, when I'm about to sell these, noone would believe if the DVDs & Product keys are still unused, just because the seal has been removed from the boxes and the keys are visible. I couldn't think of any way to prove that they keys are still new and unused.. Is there any way, instead of installing it of course..?

Re: Vista product keys guarantee "Carey Frisch [MVP]" <cnfrisch[ at ]nospamgmail.com> 10/6/2008 9:29:17 PM Once you broke the seal, you devalued the product in the minds of the potential buyers. Only by installing and activating can the buyer be assured the software was not previously used. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience --------------------------------------------------------------------- "kiseki_o_o" wrote in message news:eFkTyY$JJHA.2220[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Vista product keys guarantee tanuj_chadha <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 10/6/2008 9:31:12 PM The OEM cd's donot require the cd key to be put in at the time of installation. As the cd key is already present. I don't think that there would be a way to prove that the keys are still unused & new. -- tanuj_chadha Tanuj History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. - Karl Marx :geek:
