From my limited experience, if a Dell PC comes with WIn7, it also has a Dell certificate (specific to Dell, but same for most if not all Dell models) built into the BIOS. When installing Win7 using an Dell Win7 DVD, it should automatically activates itself using certificate in the BIOS without needing access to internal network or internet. I think Win8 certificate is per machine. This sounds about right to me. I think it's SLIC, or something similar.Anyway, will be checking in the morning. How many are you looking for?

How many are you looking for? 32- and 64-bit? I just need a Pro 32 bit. I've gone through all the disks I have here and none are pre-activated. If you run across one that is, let me know the pn or number on it.
I'd love to have one for myself since nearly all the machines I have are dell. I'll have to get the part number from my disc, but I just used a Dell OEM disc to re-install Win 7 on a dell laptop, Latitude E6400 (C2D). It installed activated, and stayed activated after I installed SP1. For the record, the Dell Vista disc I used first did not install activated.
Getting ready to sell this laptop, and somehow the COA is not on it and nowhere to be found, so I tried vista first and then win7, with the above results. Anyone wanna buy a laptop? Or in gillbot's case, buy the disc and and get the laptop free Mudboy, email me if u do not have any luck.
I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong then. I used a few dell discs and restored my kids laptops and none of them self-activated. I had to put in the coa number and call. Probably related to whether the BIOS is UEFI (or maybe even 64 bit UEFI?) or the legacy BIOS. They changed how OEM-PA worked not so long ago because people figured out where the PA keys were stored in the BIOSes and started inserting them into their own BIOSes to be able to use VLA PA discs.
Newer machines have a different OEM-PA system which necessitates the use of different discs tailored to specific models of machines. Back when I was working on the Latitude D600 series of laptops thereabouts, the WinXP, Vista and Windows 7 Dell OEM discs would self-activate on any Dell machine without batting an eyelash.
You'd never have to enter in a key regardless of what Dell machine from that era you put the disc in. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong then.

You'd never have to enter in a key regardless of what Dell machine from that era you put the disc in. Reminds me of the BIOS 'tattooing' that was done to OEM boards for HP media/BIOS to work on them. That was back in the late 90s. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong then. I used a few dell discs and restored my kids laptops and none of them self-activated.

Hmm, wonder if this is why mine won't self activate. I have a couple generic ones I use for all machines, I'll see if I can find a model specific one and try that.
