sql server new users : Question on new purchase of Standard Edition 2005
an online store (techusastore.com), but did not received any information such as product key or licensed key or authorization number, or anything like that. No documents. Just the 2 cds in the cd sleves. Not even a box. This is my first time buying this product, so I am not sure what SHOULD come with this. A Microsoft rep told me that if I ordered form one of their approved reseller, I would get those information by e-mail. But since this company (techusastore.com) is not one of them, do I need those keys/numbers? I contacted the online store and they said that I don't need any number/keys. It is hard coded in the media (CDs). All I need to do is to install it. Is this true? I have not install the software. I want to make sure that everything is legal before I install it. If you bought this software from other un-approved reseller, what did you get with the CDs?
I would call MS Licensing immediately.

Thank you.
On the CDs, it said
"All use subject to volume license agreement. Do not make illegal copies of this disc. Not for retail or OEM distribution. Not for resale" Item # 228-05236 (on both disc). I didn't received any volume license agreement number from them or from Microsoft. I am trying to return this product, but so far no response. I reported the company to Microsoft Piracy. Thank you, Arnie and Hillary for your help. I hope Im getting my money back. [quoted text, click to view] "angela" wrote:

Some vendors will ship oem versions of Microsoft products and IIRC the
product key will be embedded in the installation media. For example Dell will provide installation media with OEM versions of Windown 200x Server and SQL on the installation media. This does not sound like the case here, so as Hugo suggests you should contact MS Licensing. -- Hilary Cotter Director of Text Mining and Database Strategy RelevantNOISE.Com - Dedicated to mining blogs for business intelligence.

Oops:) It was an easy mistake to make, I mean your names are so similar.
