Windows 7 Licensing and Packaging

The Windows license is affixed to the outside of the OEM System Builder packs and covers a system builder's rights to distribute the software. ​​

Windows 7 Licensing Terms for OEM System Builder Packs

Opened Pack
When you open the pack, you agree to the license terms and must preinstall the license for Windows desktop software onto a fully assembled PC's hard drive using the OPK.

Unopened Pack
Unopened packs can be delivered to another system builder—an OEM, assembler, refurbisher, or preinstaller of software on computer systems.
End User Distribution
Packs should not be distributed to end users. Software is preinstalled onto PCs, and the individual software license—located in the pack—must be given to the customer. Individual software licenses may include a COA, media, and a manual.
System Builder Software: Not for Legalization
The Get Genuine Kit for Windows—not OEM System Builder software—is the proper channel legalization solution for existing PCs. Get details.
