Windows 11 Pro Licensing

Copper Contributor

Hello, I'm Jorge Huayta from Softkey Digital S.A.C.  Indirect Reseller Partner, i have some questions about the correct licensing. 

I have a customer with 50 Desktops with pirated activated windows, and they want to buy Windows 11 Pro Licenses to pass an audit, what's the correct license to sell them?

i have CSP licenses, and OEM DVD Packages available, 

the thing is, some of the 50 Desktops are going to be installed a new clean install of windows 11 Pro, but some of them will be activated with an original license as it is, without clean install.

The ones that are going to me install a clean install, classify to get licensed with the OEM DVD Package? because its cheaper for them, or it need to be ESD or GGWA.

and in the case of the ones that will be activated as it is, would it be licensed by ESD or GGWA right?

Hi @jorgehuayta 

 

Please reach out your Indirect Provider.

 

As far as I know, "pirated" copies of Windows are out of compliance as they're a version of Windows that is used to avoid paying Microsoft for the original copy while still enjoying full access to its features.

@LicensingConcierge1 Yes, i've talk with multiple indirect providers, and they've said that in this case the option would be GGWA License, that is a MAK key for the amount of pc's to license, my question is what about the ESD or the FPP usb box of windows 11 that come's with a license retail i think.
