Hi,
Hopefully someone on here can give me a definitive answer. We are based in the UK
We purchased 40 legitimate (no issues) copies of sealed Server 2016 Standard Part Number 073-07113 from a supplier. The software was marked as Manufactured in Ireland
There was also a label on the packs from Ingram in India, these units were originally to be sold in Singapore, but were brought back into the UK, with all the correct taxes etc paid.
We then sold these to a System Builder, who then went on to sell them to another customer. This customer then queried the Ingram label and spoke to a 'Microsoft Person' who stated that its illegal to sell these in the UK due to the fact that they are from Ingram in India. If the Ingram label wasn't on the packs then no one would be the wiser!
I have tried to call Microsoft, but honestly, its a nightmare, I just keep getting passed from pillar to post. I need to get, in writing from Microsoft that its either ok or not to resell these, I can't see why it isn't just because of a sticker!
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
