    I have heard that in the evaluation version of POSready 2009 is a virus.

    Yes, once installed as eval, there is no way to change it

    If anyone has a problem with extracting the key from the image posted in first post, there is a simpler way than mounting registry hive.
    The key is stored in the Unattended.xml file, which is located in the Windows folder. To get this file you have to simply extract the content of *.wim image by using 7zip or other archiving programme.

    see picture and that will answer your question about the the license key i have posted.

    View attachment 22945


    OEM POSREADY 2009 - requires OEM version of the POS2009 + SLI 1.0 (OEM strings in the bios) + certificates to activate, and it all has to match (example acer can't use Dell certificates + key cuz they won't match bios SLI strings). advantages use as long as its supported and doesn't require to connect to Microsoft for activation. Option #1 used by computer makers since they can use a single license for all the machines.

    VOL POSREADY 2009 - Used by enterprises or mid sized businesses, license skips activation and doesn't required the use of certificates. however a volume install media is required to use those keys. advantages no activation required, can be installed in as many computers as you want. * "THIS WILL BE YOUR BEST CHOICE"

    RETAIL POSREADY 2009 - Sold at any computer retailer and used by general public (end user). this license is usually for one single pc and it requieres activation via online or by phone. license binds to the first equipment that is activated on and cannot be used on another one since it won't activate.

    The license i posted is unlimited you will be able to use as many time as you want in as many computer as desired, the key came from a POS retailer recovery CD.
