IBM is announcing additional OEM licenses of Windows products to the IBM Reseller Option Kit (ROK) program for qualifying IBM Distributor participation. This addition to the ROK program authorizes qualifying IBM Distributors to buy IBM OEM licenses of selected operating systems for sale to IBM Business Partners (Resellers) for installation on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers.
