Work prospect regarding multiple installs of Windows 7?
I'm starting a computer assembly business, building custom order PC's, I have a mock inventory created, everything checks out hardware wise so I'm ready to take the next step. Only problem is, I'm having trouble finding where I can purchase a windows license so I can install on multiple computers. I'm doing this 100% legally, its legit, just want to figure out what kind of license I'm looking for, how many systems they're good for. I'm sure there's a Business License or something similar somewhere on the microsoft site. Just can't find it, any help is greatly appreciated.
I know I can't buy a license to install on infinite systems. I was asking if there's a license that allows a certain number of installs. Or can I just buy one copy of Windows 7 and buy multiple keys directly from Microsoft. Am I going to have to buy a new copy of Window 7 every time I build a new system? Because to me that seems counterproductive. Can't make money if I'm paying so much to install a different copy windows for each and every computer

for installing on sellable computers you need an oem license and you still have to get one for each computer. there is no master license you can get to use on computers you are selling to the general public.
edit - this is why its really not possible to compete with the big oems, they buy huge numbers of licenses (every single one has a microsoft sticker with a unique product key on it) at discounts and include trial software on their systems which other companies pay for. Its not possible to build systems and compete with them price wise until you get into the mid-upper range. Only way to compete would be to advertise superior quality but thats a hard sell. I'm serious, there is no multiple use license for use in systems being sold to the public, you must by an oem license for each system you sell, legally.
