I have a few areas of the network still using NT! They are not used that often but are needed from time to time. I am looking at maybe just buying some second hand systems with XP Pro COAs on the side (Dell / HP ?? )
Anyway, anyone else here ever done this? If so, apart from ebay is there anywhere I can get these from?
thanks.
I would have thought that Ebay would offer the biggest choise of systems. Just make sure that you but from a reliable seller.
Dell's Outlet store offer refurbished PC's. don't know if thats any help:

I've seen dead laptops go on ebay for next to nothing with the COA stickers.

yes, but the COA are not transferable.

The crucial bit is the 'dead' part. OEM COAs are transferable if the hardware has actually died.
so many people say that dave, but surely all these people that do that microsoft will enforce it a bit?
You could always attack it with a hammer to make sure...
