HP Laptop owners: 2nd location of COA on HP Laptop

. to back up the OEM activation with any software that is freely available on the net,

I though you entered a number when asked? You need software? Is it an automatic thing?

When I loaded the OEM, it asked me for the COA, I think, but Gregrocker said to enter after the load and later.

Can you give an example? of one? or what it is like or how to search for it?

I assume this software, we enter our COA number in it? Like on a flash drive and exe and it activate the OS with our COA we entered into it?

There is a method to back up the OEM-SLP key from the factory preinstall so it can be reinstalled after Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 but it is not supported here by order of the Admin, so you'd have to research it for yourself.
