Depends what they are installing it on? If they built the computer themselves, I believe it's permitted as a "system builder." That said I did just Google it and apparently "system builder" is open to interpretation as to whether it includes home users building from scratch.
- gruez 4y agoI don't think they're even OEM keys (ie. the "system builder" ones that newegg sells). They're probably a combination of academic/bizspark/msdn/volume licenses that aren't permitted for everyday use.
- taspeotis 4y agoWell I have bought several OEM from other vendors before and I just ran slmgr to tell me: Name: Windows(R), Professional edition Description: Windows(R) Operating System, RETAIL channel Product Key Channel: Retail So grey market retail I guess.
- kube-system 4y agoAs I understand there are different types of OEM keys, system builder is one of those, but these really cheap ones are often not those.
