Hi Team,
Is OEM License necessary for newly purchased branded Laptop though we have volume license purchased for the organisation?
Can we transfer our Volume licence from old desktops to newer laptops ?
Regards,
Allen Macwan

The volume center does not read posts here. You can email volume licensing service.

Hello,
You want to start by looking over the licensing briefs for Microsoft Volume Licensing
Hello AllenMacwan
Thank you for your question and reaching out.
I can understand you have some query regarding Licensing.
Please note if you are going to use your Company's Volume License then there is no need to purchase OEM licenses.

Thank you for you reply.
but upon reading the link mentioned in your comment :
in the example used in this pdf to explain the license-thematics they orderd 50 PC-Systems with PRE-Installed Windows Pro - this makes me believe that is definitively necessary to buy OEM as base for Volume-License...
Now i am confused as it contradicts your answer.
