    I am a Certified Microsoft refurbisher and I have to pay around $30.00 for every copy of Windows 7 I put in a machine and even then it has to already have an older valid Windows COA on it from something like Vista or XP.

    There may a million better places to live than Iowa, but none of them are home!

    I'm just wondering about this, but is it a painstaking process to become Microsoft certified to refurbish?

    Note difficult but if you don't buy enough Licenses in a given time they will cancel your agreement. I know from personal experience.

    That is an upgrade license only. Full COA licences for a pc w/o a sticker will run you between 60 and 80 depending on volume.

    You are correct. That is why I was referring to them needing an older COA. We do new builds also and they are a bit more expensive. We do not do a lot of volume. I think 633 machines last year that we used full or upgrade licenses for.
