Why do some products come with the green authentication sticker and some don’t?

Hello,

The green authentication sticker you mentioned is most likely a reference to the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker. This sticker is commonly found on software products, including operating systems like Windows Server.

The COA sticker serves as a proof of authenticity for the software product. It typically contains a unique product key or a holographic image, indicating that the product is genuine and not a counterfeit or pirated copy. The presence of the COA sticker assures the customer that they have purchased a legitimate and licensed version of the software.

However, it's important to note that the exact details and design of COA stickers can vary depending on the manufacturer or the specific product version. Therefore, it's possible that some products may not have the green authentication sticker due to different packaging or changes in the product branding or distribution methods. 

I hope the information helps you.
