If a company was to obtain a NFR copy of Windows Server for free, would there be any conflicts if theywere topay someone to install it?

Licensing doesn't say anthing about who installs the system. Many companies use outside contractors to install and even maintain their computer systems.Bill

Would there still be no issues on either end if the software was given to the business as a gift rather than being sold to them?
