Correct.

But other than with the upgrade disk or some specific OEM disks (like Dell), I personally have (had) no issue with using OEM or Retail disk to activate my official COA, be it OEM or retail. A phone call is all it takes to sort this out with Microsoft agents.

Thanks for making some distinctions.

cheers ...
