Using own Windows licence

Thanks to one of this community's members I now have a windows server 2008 licence, I'm just wondering do any hosts allow people to use their own licence key?

My budget is about $10

    In fact you have to use your own license, we don't sell windows licenses.

  • All your KVM's are out of stock >.<

    Yup, as long as you have a link to the ISO and a license key :)

  • So what I just put the link to the ISO in the order notes and you load the ISO when it's delivered?

    Yup :)

    Currently, no.

    If you're worried about the performance, it's the new KVM node your VPS will be on.

    Not currently, but if you want to pay by card you can select PayPal and select the option to pay with your card (don't login to paypal) the option will be on the PayPal checkout page itself.

    No can do, my card is linked with a limited account.

    Apparently my personal website requires a gambling licence. Idiots.

    I allow people to use their own license for Windows with the 512MB or 1024MB plan. I activate access to the ISOs per customer so they need to open a ticket for access. I currently accept PayPal but could turn on stripe if needed (PM me) to use a credit card as long as it passed all fraud checks.

  • I made a ticket, had no response.

  • We allow you to bring a license, just need ISO link and proof of license. Only accepting paypal at this time though:

    As I said before, I will allow CC payment through Stripe as long as it passes fraud check. Either way hope you get what you need worked out.

  • I'm disappointed you said the next shift will work on the problem of loading the windows server ISO and yet I haven't heard a single thing.

    When will I get my server delivered with the correct ISO?

    @Gerrard8 Please respond to the ticket with a link to the ISO you want.

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    Scratch that, your KVM has been booted with Windows 2008 R2. We need an ISO link if you want something else.

  • Hmm... I still don't understand how providers are able to allow BYOL Windows OS. As far as I understand MS SPLA doesn't have that type of flexibility when it comes to VPS.
