Volume License Confusion
Q. Has your organization ever acquired PCs without operating systems preinstalled, and then used its Volume License Agreement to install the initial Windows license on those PCs?

 

A. If so, these PCs may be mislicensed. The most cost-effective way to acquire Windows on a new PC is preinstalled.
 

Ineligible Operating System Upgrades
Q. Has your organization ever acquired PCs with Windows Vista® Home versions preinstalled, and then used its Volume License Agreement to install Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate versions on those PCs?

 

A. If so, these PCs may not be licensed properly. Volume License Agreements provide only Windows upgrades, not full licenses.
 

Counterfeit Software
Q. Has your organization downloaded and installed software from online or unknown sources?

 

A. If so, these PCs may be running non-genuine software. You could be at risk for identity theft, viruses, and other attacks.
