   I probably need to install Windows, in order to run a proprietary glorified rsyncd that updates and SD card.
   
   There was a thread about cheap licenses recently, where Moonman used some kind of weird channel to obtain one, and someone replied: "the ones sold at eBay for $25 worked for me".
   
   Does anyone remember what it was about?
   
   I didn't touch Windows for 20 years, since before XP and before "online activation".

     @sun Stupid question: can it run on 8GB RAM? I have an old laptop that I thought about using.

     @zaitcev you can maybe buy an OEM key or something, or a boxed copy you can move elsewhere
     
     Or never activate
     
     You sure it doesn't work on wine?

     @coolboymew It's not for one time. I'm going to need it periodically, whenever a new GPS database is published.

     @zaitcev can't you just install and activate later and never do it if it's just for a one time use?

     so it can def be done, and you can get deployments of 8 easy, i think chris titus has a utility for that as well
