Good to know: What is a MAR license?

24.08.2016

We keep hearing about MAR licenses and refurbished versions of Windows operating systems. As these are also offered in conjunction with spo-comm Mini-PCs, we would like to briefly explain what this optional type of operating system is all about.

A MAR license is quickly explained:

Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR) is a program in which previously used Windows licenses have been deactivated and are now being used again.
Some of these are already labelled. However, compared to the new versions, no compromises are made in terms of functionality and the like.
The MAR variant is a low-cost alternative to conventional licenses and is available on request.
