The Get Genuine Kit (GGK) helps your customers install genuine Windows software on their existing PCs. It provides a simple solution to help your customers get legal, deepen your customer relationship, and build your reputation as a trusted advisor.
The problem: how to deliver a genuine Windows operating system license to a PC when the customer has acquired non-genuine Windows software.
The solution: the GGK offers a full Windows operating system license to customers who need a compliant solution for existing PCs. GGK licenses are available for Windows 11.
Background
Order process
The GGK is available worldwide by ordering through a Microsoft Authorized OEM Distributor. The GGK provides the customer with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that must be affixed to the PC. Media is included with each Windows 11 GGK purchase and comes with one COA.
Order quantity
License packs come only in a quantity of one (1) .
A one-license pack contains the System Builder License Agreement, Supplemental End User License Terms, media (DVD), COA label, and a getting started guide.

- The license is not transferable.

Software Assurance

Support

Other facts
- Non-transferable license—the license is not transferable to another device.
- New vs. existing PC use—the GGK can never be used on a new device. It can be used only to legalize Windows software on an existing device.
