Frequently Asked Questions
SMART is our cloud-based Windows license injection tool for refurbished PCs.
Refurbishers ourselves, we noticed the need for an easy way to inject Windows licenses digitally.
The result was SMART, which in 2021 won the Microsoft Innovation Award.
SMART allows you to buy, manage, and inject legitimate Windows license keys without complex hardware or in-depth expertise.
Â
A digital Windows license is a Windows license which is stored and injected with a computer server.
Prior to 2021, Refurbishers could buy a paper Certificate of Authentication (COA).
Paper COAs provided a unique key to install an operating system onto the device.
On the 30th of June 2021, Microsoft stopped selling paper Windows Licenses to all Refurbishers.
To buy more licenses, you will need to switch to digital.
Â
SMART is a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher.
Buying from us removes multiple risks that emerge from selling illegitimate Windows licenses.
By buying from us you can sell yourself as a Microsoft Third Party Refurbisher and sell your products with a Genuine Microsoft Refurbisher Label.
SMART removes all hardware and technical requirements for Windows key injection.
By moving injects to the cloud, SMART:
- Reduces your costs by eliminating spending on hardware.
- Removes need for technical expertise.
- Decreases time taken to inject Windows to a PC.
- Contains software which prevents wasting money by injecting multiple licenses to the same device.

Refurbishers need their customers to be confident that what they are buying is high-quality, safe, and legal.

Once you subscribe to SMART and purchase Windows keys, you are ready to inject a Windows license.
Â
To inject the key, download the SMART client at app.smartdpk.com/client and add the file to a USB.
Then start up your refurbished computer in audit mode with an internet connection. Insert the USB and run the SMART file.
When you are ready, select ‘Inject Product Key’ and SMART will inject a Windows license to your device.
Â
Finally, select ‘Ship to Customer.’
The device will boot up with Out Of Box Experience, ready for customers to use, next time the computer boots up.
Typically, to inject a Windows license key to a refurbished device you would need a costly on-premise server.
SMART is cloud based so does not require you to run an in-house server; we do that for you.
The only requirements are a USB stick/network drive and internet connection.
The Microsoft Digital Operations Services (MDOS) SMART client is the Microsoft application for keeping track of Windows license keys.
Our Cloud Based system acts as a middleware between you and MDOS meaning you don’t need to set up MDOS.

Just download our client and you are ready to inject your keys.
