RTMs still use keys and activation, they are basically the same as OEM keys. You don't normally see this on OEM machines because they get a generic key to get past it for their OEM customers, then slap the sticker on the side with the real key if it ever needs reactivated.

A few years back, there was a BIOS patch for ASUS MBs to trick the RTM OS into thinking the PC wasn't a home built, otherwise you'd need a key. RC, OEM, retail, etc. keys are not interchangeable.

All versions of windows now need a key to activate them, both OEM and retail

The OEM copies used by the major manufacturers are pre activated with a standard key for practical reasons, as they are installed from image files which also contain the inevitable bloatware

They are however also sold with an individual unique key which is normally found on the authenticity sticker affixed to the computer. if you check the key on a new laptop via software it will report a different number from the one on the sticker - which has to be used for any re-install.

If you purchase a legitimate OEM disk this will be provided with a unique key

As for bios locking - yes this has been used by some manufacturers, but any cracks for defeating this system are illegal and have no place being discussed here

Thats because it's activated via rc keys (requires a type of "cracking" WHICH IS ILLEGAL!)
