Harold Mitts the software engineer that developed RPK will present a one day. MICROSOFT REGISTERED REFURBISHER PROGRAM AGREEMENT (Version 7.0). “OPK” means the OEM preinstallation kit that includes, where applicable, installation instructions, utilities, tools, Software, and/or supplements delivered to Refurbisher by MS for installing the. “Pack” means the package of Microsoft OEM Refurbisher Software.

This program is not only beneficial for Microsoft and PC refurbishers. It offers many significant benefits to customers as well: they get a PC that has been professionally data-wiped and preinstalled with a genuine version of Windows ® XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional; they have access to downloads, updates, and enhanced features; and they also have access to future releases of Windows. And all this is done on a computer that could so easily have become part of a landfill and yet another statistic in the fight against toxic dumping. The licensing of new software products can sometimes confuse both sellers and buyers, but the refurbished PC market brings a new level of complexity to what you can and can't do with an ageing copy of Windows. MAR slices through this complexity for refubishers. It provides a set of installation tools, including the Refurbisher Preinstallation Kit (RPK), which eases the preinstallation of Windows XP to a diverse base of refurbished PCs. Each license comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Microsoft.

If a PC has been refurbished, still has its COA, and the company has the original recovery media or hard disk-based recovery image, then a new Windows license isn't needed. However, MAR is designed to streamline the process if there is no recovery media or image for commercial refurbishers. The marketplace for refurbished PCs is growing and predictions indicate that millions of units can avoid landfills if corporations seek out alternatives. MAR performs not only a strategic role within Microsoft, but critically aids large firms in deploying a low-cost hardware solution that provides great benefit to others. With more and more focus on the environmental issues affecting the planet, the proper disposal of PCs has never been more important. Initiatives like the MAR program will add in revitalizing an ageing PC, helping it continue to benefit anyone looking for low-cost technology and keep it away from a toxic landfill. Simply by aiding in the clarification of software licensing, the program goes a long way towards making a refurbished PC more appealing.
