COEM (compliant original equipment manufacturer), produced outside OEM factories, but same specification and quality as OEM

Commercial Original Equipment Manufacturer

oem vs coem - Windows 7 - Tom's Hardware

OK so now you do want to download an iso file ?

You don`t have to download the COEM iso, the OEM is the same thing.

What version do you want, what language and what bit version ? I will post the direct Microsoft link, your key will not work to download the iso file, but you can try, let me know what happens. But be quick.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit ? What language ?

If your key works, that`s great.

When I said it would not work, I meant if you have a OEM key it would not work to download the iso file from Microsoft, but you must have a System Builders key, that`s why it downloaded the COEM iso, which is no different then the OEM Iso file.

The Microsoft site should only work with a Retail or a System Builders key, but some have reported that their OEM key has worked.

No, I did not have to enter a key to post the link for you, we know of ways around that.

A Retail license key can be used on any PC as long as it`s only activated on 1 PC at any given time.

A System Builders or OEM key is tied to the motherboard it is installed on and can not be transferred to another PC.

According to the End User License Agreement.

But of course there`s no one to enforce that rule :)
