that's the beauty of microsoft products. some people put their license that has the registration key in the jewel case with the disk. Also.. if you ever bought Office Pro then you'd know that the manual is next to worthless in explaining just about anything MicroCrap thinks they can save a bunch of money by putting everything in online help and giving you that damned little clippy guy that you can ask questions to. SO.... even though it says not to sell your OEM disk.. you CAN in fact sell it. They mean that people can't go to stores and buy the thing... go into a store and buy from a rack of OEM disks instead of the boxed version. Its kinda like this.. remember a while back when COSTCO first came out? well there you could buy packages of product that said right on them not to be sold individually bulk is cheaper... SOOOOO...... Here's the deal... YOU CAN SELL ANYTHING you purchase.. as long as you follow the license agreement... READ IT SOMETIME.. its quite interesting. Tell me if it says you can't sell your disk.. bet you can. think about what your'e saying before you say it.. you might say something intelligent. BTW I'm not the one selling the disk in case you're wondering..
