I just purchased a refurbished laptop which came with XP home installed. Its a Dell laptop but refurbished by another company. Windows passes validation but there is no COA sticker on the laptop and no media supplied.
I had a look on the Micrsoft website and its says "A COA is not a software license – it is a visual identifier that assists in determining whether or not the Microsoft software you are running is genuine. However, without it, you will not have a legal license to run Microsoft software." So I'm mainly fussed because I have paid for it and don't want for it to fail validation some time in the future or for it to be a corporate (are they called volume licenses?) which should only be used within a business and not re-sold.
Any advice you can give would be appreciated as I don't want to have paid for something I shouldn't be using. Thanks.
