    I've been thinking about buying a laptop on the outlet website.
    Sometimes, if at all, do they give a licence cd & then it's only a backup copy.

    Are these licences legit?

    The PC should have a COA sticker on it for the version of windows, though servers don't always come with it.

    It is an original, an original OEM copy. It may be part of a Dell backup set which is ok too.

    You do get a license code which is stuck onto the PC/laptop as Capt'n said
