Dell Reseller Option Kit Important Information
Overview
Dell Reseller Option Kit (ROK) is a stand-alone Dell branded operating system (OS) kit, specially designed for
Dell servers. This offering provides business with an easy, prelicensed solution for
installing Microsoft Windows server.
Dell ROK is available in the following editions:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2025
- Microsoft Windows Server 2022
The ROK license is designed exclusively for new server installations and must be deployed by a Dell-authorized reseller before the server reaches the customer. This guarantees that the operating system is correctly licensed and properly configured on the server hardware.
Downgrade Rights and Licensing
Dell ROK does not provide downgrade rights for earlier versions of Windows Server, such as moving from Windows Server 2025 to 2022. Each version must be purchased separately. Customers seeking downgrade licenses and installation media must acquire them independently from Dell-approved sources for the specific earlier versions they wish to install.
