However, unless they are subject to MS audits then it seems that many successfully illegally use OEM licences which annoys people who are legal and have paid the paid full price. On this forum members should not advise people to do illegal acts. John Krenn wrote: I am a system builder.

How did you come to the conclusion that any illegal action on your side would put you out of liability for licensing?
So if licensing is the task of your customer, why do you ask us for access to an ISO instead of asking your customer for such access? Mike This person is a verified professional.
It might be created as a non-bootable backup copy and require the appropriate application for restoration. This would not qualify as bad DVD. A media disk for OEM server operating system software is optional and became exceptional. An unopened OEM package of Windows server is a server hardware with that server software installed by the OEM and you not yet having powered on that server since it left the factory.
If you power it on, you should also get the option to recreate another restoration media on a new DVD yourself. I'm not an OEM. So I don't have experience with OEM packages. If it is a full OEM package, then it should come with OEM contract agreement and the tools to create your installer to implement the binding to hardware. As far as I have read, only few OEMs make these efforts and use the unmodified installer coming with the software from Microsoft.
I don't know your options in your jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions I know of, the seller has the option to either replace it or refund you. He may also offer you to cancel the whole transaction.
So if he refuses not only to replace it but also the other options, then you probably became victim of a fraud and can take according legal actions, including those of law enforcement services. Those offers I know of which offer such an optional DVD media, they charge a small premium for using that option. The above mentioned refund right is usually concerning this premium.
The software itself is still functional on the unopened OEM server hardware. That's the reason why a bad DVD does not qualify to cancel the transaction. This does not prevent you to reach such agreement with the seller to cancel the whole transaction. Then it could no longer qualify as fraud. Replace Attachment.
