Office 2007 Basic OEM vs Retail Question

[Toby Reeves]

We used to build our own systems and were part of the MS System Builder's
group using MS OEM products.

Now, our business clients purchase name brand PCs from us, such as Acer,
Lenovo and HP. Often, they do not have Office loaded on them, so we do it for
them.

Can we still use the OEM products if they purchase brand name PCs through
us? If so, how do we do this with the media-less software OEM software now
sold? Thanks.

Thanks. But we already have the OPK master kit. The problem is that the major
manufacturer, such as HP, has the boot up as the minisetup and we cannot use
the OPK at this point- unless there are ways around it.

The only way to install Office with OPK is go through the mini setup screen
and when done, conduct the Office install. But, because of EULA, doesn't that
violate the agreement?

I couldn't say, you may want to talk to Microsoft instead of us users
here in the newsgroup. But it sounds like you have your "work cut out"
for you attempting this on some of those "restore partition" configured
boxes.
