Are Windows oem licenses legal that come with a used computer?

Question

Windows

I have been working with Avito and used equipment for a long time, and once again I notice that for an ordinary office it is much more profitable to purchase branded used equipment from the business segment (dell, hp, lenovo, etc), not even from the point of view of the profitability of iron, but from the point of view reliable hardware + windows pro license. It is worth mentioning that I am not a system administrator, and I know little about checks

. The sticker on the purchased PC does not guarantee that everything is in order with the licenses?
But excuse me, first of all, during checks, emnip look at the accounting department, they ask to provide purchase receipts, where we will show them that we bought a PC with windows in a thrift store, do we not have the right to use such a PC with windows already preinstalled, because microsoft has already received money from this instance, it turns out that we did not cause damage to them?
In addition, the sticker is an additional way to identify legality, the first is the purchase documents. Why not say that the purchase documents are lost, here is the sticker, look, everything is legal.

Main question: Is a windows sticker sufficient for checks? And what about the licenses sewn into the motherboard?

Help with this rather legal issue

Answer 1

If you bought on ebay, then you have an invoice. This is a necessary condition for putting the company on balance. Accordingly, the license is correct, because. comes with the device.

Answer 2

Stickers, keys in the BIOS, etc. for checks mean nothing and are of no interest to anyone.
In the accounting department there must be an invoice and / or a passport of a PC in which OEM WinX pro is written in the components / properties

Answer 3

Is a windows sticker enough for checks? And what about the licenses sewn into the motherboard?

No. Because cunning dudes sell stickers separately on eBay. Few people will be interested in stickers and keys when checking (meaning, of course, checking by "gray people" for licensedness). Well, that is, of course, they will look at the stickers, but the main thing will be the availability of accounting documents - where, when, from whom it was purchased.

Why not say that the purchase documents are lost, here is the sticker, look, everything is legal.

Because the people who come to you are not fools either. Yes, they may not understand the word "server", but they don't need to. You yourself know perfectly well that this is a crooked maz, and they know it as well as you.
The legality of using software (Windows) purchased together with a piece of iron is to be found in the license for a specific software (Windows).

Answer 4

For many years in the Russian Federation they have been checking not stickers, but accounting docks. Sometimes winver watch.
And I don’t hear about checks for about three years at all.
