I believe that's for hardware activation. Using a CD and having the key in front of you isn't a motherboard integrated activation system. DELL uses a hardware activation where if you reinstall the CD provided for that computer, it automatically activates. There is a limit on this though, I found it for my Dell. 200 or so times I believe.

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.
