OEM Windows Pro GGK – a solution for legalizing unlicensed operating systems

Home News and reviews OEM Windows Pro GGK – a solution for legalizing unlicensed operating systems
29.04.2025

For modern businesses, it is important not only to have functional tools for efficient office operations but also to comply with licensing legislation requirements. Official software is not just a matter of ethics; it is also crucial for a company's security, stability, and reputation. That is why Microsoft offers solutions that help legalize existing systems without additional expenses for new hardware.

ERC has expanded its range of licensing solutions with new OEM versions of Windows Pro GGK (Get Genuine Kit), specifically designed to legalize operating systems on computers with pre-installed unlicensed software.

GGK is the optimal choice for those who want to officially transition to a licensed version of Windows without the need to purchase a new device. The license provides full access to updates, Microsoft support, and ensures compliance with current legislation.

It is worth noting that standard OEM licenses are tied to specific hardware, meaning they cannot be transferred to another PC in case of equipment replacement. GGK licenses differ somewhat from standard OEM licenses. They are intended specifically for legalizing existing computers that have been using unofficial versions of Windows. At the same time, both options provide users with stable performance, support, and security. Let’s take a closer look at the key differences and similarities between the licenses:

Purpose

OEM GGK: Used to legalize Windows operating systems on computers that previously had unlicensed software installed.

Standard OEM: Intended for preinstallation on new computers by equipment manufacturers. They are activated on a specific device during the first startup.

Hardware Binding

Both types of OEM licenses are tied to the specific hardware on which they were first activated. They cannot be transferred to another device.

Certificate of Authenticity (COA)

This is a Certificate of Authenticity used to verify the legitimacy of the Windows operating system. It is supplied with the OEM Windows license and contains the product key required for system activation. For both types of licenses, the COA label must be affixed to the computer in a visible location.

Price and Availability

OEM GGK: Sold separately for the legalization of existing systems.

Standard OEM: Purchased by system builders and included in the cost of a new computer.

Downgrade Rights

OEM GGK: GGK (Get Genuine Kit) licenses do not grant downgrade rights, as they are intended for legalizing the current version of Windows.

Standard OEM: Downgrade rights are typically available for business editions of Windows, such as Windows Pro or Enterprise. This allows users to install previous versions of the operating system if needed for software or hardware compatibility.

Support and Warranty

OEM GGK: Support is provided directly by Microsoft, since these licenses are purchased separately to legalize the software.

Standard OEM: Support is provided by the hardware manufacturer (e.g., Dell, HP), not Microsoft. Warranty also depends on the manufacturer's policy.

It is also important to note the difference between GGK (Get Genuine Kit) and another legalization solution — GGWA (Get Genuine Windows Agreement). The main differences lie in the target audience, volume of licenses, and activation method.

 

GGK (Get Genuine Kit)

GGWA (Get Genuine Windows Agreement)

Target Audience

Individual users, small businesses

Corporate clients with a large number of devices

License Volume

Single license purchase possible

Minimum order of 5 licenses

Activation

Activated individually per device

One key is used for multiple installations across company devices

Downgrade Rights

Not available

Downgrade rights may be available, which is beneficial for corporate clients

Thus, the choice between GGK and GGWA depends on the size of the company and the number of devices. Both options offer an effective and reliable path to software legalization, ensuring support and security from Microsoft.
