Microsoft is promoting their Windows Licensing tools via USB flash drive. Fill out a simple form to receive your free flash drive. The drive will arrive full of valuable information about licensing including, FAQs, product information, a license brief, transfer of license information and additional resources. Click image to begin the request/form. It’s only while supplies last.
Well, they didn’t issue a flash drive despite their promotion, this is what we received instead:
Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We’ve received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today.Simply download* the Windows Desktop Licensing reference files directly at:www.microsoft.com/mysterysolved/corpTo help simplify Windows Desktop Licensing, keep these points in mind:
There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product.
Volume licensing covers Windows Desktop operating system upgrades only.
OEM operating system licenses live and die with each PC–they are not transferable.
Again, thank you for your interest in Mystery Solved and for helping us spread the word about proper Windows licensing.Sincerely,
Microsoft Corporation
