    Microsoft will sell you a license or you can just buy a retail or OEM CD, which is what I would recommend.

      An OEM disk is for system builders but you can get one too. It is a full installation, not an upgrade, so a previous version of Windows is not require. It is usually the same price (roughly) as an upgrade CD and substantially less than a retail new version.
