It was stupid that Moduslink stuck the COA on the cardboard why didn't they just leave the sticker free by it self with the sticky on the back so we could stick them on to our systems. I haven't been able to stick mine to my system just had to leave it on the cardboard

It isn't really obvious, but if you get a razor blade the COA will separate from the plastic backing that is stuck to the cardboard.

 

Just be careful.

I did that but they stuck the COA to the cardboard really well and when I tried to seperate the two the cardboard just stuck to the COA.

Update added 4/17/07:

I spoke to a Dell rep today who advised that the problems should be resolved by the end of this week or early next week.

 

Written 4/16/07:

I received my Vista package the first week of March and decided to wait until all the drivers for my peripherals were available. Got ready to install Vista and found out I had no COA.

 

According to the Dell rep with whom I spoke it should have been on the white DVD envelope containing the DVD, but it was not there and there is no evidence on the envelope that it was there (like it was peeled off). The piece of cardboard in the package did not have the COA attached either.

 

The rep said Dell would contact me within the next 2 weeks. What would take 2 weeks to fix this problem?

 

I have also seen posts concerning COAs with keys that were invalid.

 

Anyone with any of these experiences? Let me know.

No solution as yet!!! Today, April 27, they said 4 to 6 weeks to solve the "problem." Everytime I speak to them the time gets extended.
