    You're supposed to be registered with Microsoft for volume licensing, I'm not sure whether their "Select" is the only way to do it, its certainly one of the ways.

    There are a few catches when it comes to volume licencing...

    "Only Windows Client upgrades can be acquired through Volume Licensing; the full operating system license must be acquired as FPP or be pre-installed by an OEM or System Builder. "

    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/r...s/default.mspx

    Just to make things more difficult, I think the licenses that GreyMatter resells are only for people on the select program and Select is really for larger companies (Microsoft suggests that the cutoff point is 250 computers)
