Can I transfer my OEM license on another computer and throwing away the old pc?

I have 2 old PC without any hardware in them with the product key OEM on top. I want to be legal even with not having not the money to keep buying more licenses just to stay legal. I transfer these keys on my computer principal in VMS (Virtual Machines) and used to test and evaluate and be legal or licensing die with these computers? If they do not die with these computers, just buy equipment for computers to bring back to life? I want that some virtual machines to evaluate/test/etc. Also, I believe I read that even installing the same licenses on computer 2 times (partitions) is illegal? How can this be good? If this is true, then, no wonder that Microsoft makes so much money and it goes so hacking on. I n my questions I've seen where to transfer the license to another PC and throw, stills activate, (stupid question) but making them legal with MS? : P

A Windows OEM license cannot be transferred to another computer.  A virtual machine is considered to be a computer.  In addition, you can only install and activate one 1 copy of Windows on a single
(1) computer. Carey Frisch

    can I transfer of PES 11 to another computer?

    Hi GederGenealogy,

    A commercial version of the software is good to install on 2 computers according to the end-user license agreement.

    If you want to transfer the license, you must disable the software first by launching the software, go to the "help" menu and select "disable."

    You can then install the software on the new machine and use the serial number to activate it.

    It is possible that you have corrupted cache files; You can try to delete the cache folder and check if that helps. You can also temporarily disable your firewall and check if all of the parameters of the firewall is a cause. Better support for the effort, I'd say uninstall you the current Windows live Messenger and install the latest version (http://download.live.com/messenger)

    I currently have Vista running on my laptop but I'm the upgrade/transition to a desktop computer. I plan also scratching my laptop / Linux loading it and wait for the computer to finally die. Can I install Vista on my new desktop PC and use the product key, I used for my laptop to Vista installation? If Yes, where can I find the key?

    Edit: The laptop came with XP and I've upgraded to Vista

    but you have a problem that you only have a license to upgrade to vista

    you need an operating system that is installed to upgrade

    If you have received the upgrade to vista from your manufacturer of computers as part of the purchase transaction, it is related to the original computer

  • How can I transfer my Photoshop Elements on another computer?

    I have photoshop elements on my computer and I would like to transfer it to another computer, but I don't have the disk I got with it. The software that came with my computer when it was purchased, I always if the serial code.

    Any help or suggestion?

    N ° see my first answer.

    The purpose of providing an OEM version delivered of the software is to allow you to decide whether this software has any value to you.  If it does and you want to use the software on another computer, you buy the software as usual.

  • How can I transfer my Windows XP from one computer brand new without the CD it came with?

    I'll buy a new hard drive for my computer and I want to put Windows XP, Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat on the new hard drive.  I have the product id for XP but not the product key or CD.  Can someone tell me how to proceed?

    The product key for Windows is on the computer. However, don't do you much good if you don't have a way to install Windows. You must have the product key and installation for Office 2007, which is separated from Windows Media. You install Adobe Acrobat your media and product key, they sent you when you bought it.

  • Can I reuse my Windows 7 product key if I'm throwing away the old PC?

    Hi, the story is that several years ago, I'm building a custom PC. And buy an OEM of Windows 7 key online. Installed Windows 7, keys has been accepted and successfully activated. No problem ever since.

    These days, computer has aged well. Some components are pretty obsolete, even hard is only 500 GB, which is surprisingly low to me.

    I plan to build a new PC instead of the upgrade of it. It will be sold for parts for computers. My question is about my Windows 7 license. Old PC will never be used again, am I able to use the same product key to activate windows on my new PC? I fear that Microsoft may block the button for "multiple use" reason. Is there a formal procedure to deactivate the license to a PC first before activating it on another?

    Thank you

  • How can I transfer 12 Photoshop elements to another computer?

    Photoshop bought 12 for download to a 32-bit laptop can be transferred to another pc which is 64-bit?

    You do want to try the demands of power between machines... they need to be installed, not transferred.  If you want to try to have the software on a different machine just install it by downloading it on this computer.  You should be able to download from your Adobe account, but otherwise there are other options available as well for example, the product page (you can download the trial version and use your serial number to activate it).

    You are allowed to have the software installed on two machines, so there is no need to remove the original machine, but you can if you wish.

  • How to transfer home use program to another computer and activate?

    Several years ago downloaded the HUP on my laptop. This computer has stopped working for more than a year. However, when I go through the process of purcahsing a new HUP, it recognizes the fact that have already downloaded an and will not let me move forward. Someone at work said that if I got my activation code original, I should be able to transfer it to my new computer, but have long deleted the original activation e-mail. Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    You should contact your employer or IT helpdesk. You have noted that this was a few years before, are you still working at the company that provided you have access to the software? If this isn't the case, it is likely means, they have prevented you from continue using the software when you left the company as part of the license agreement.

    If you have purchased separately from Windows 7, and it's a commercial version, then of course you can.

    When you get the new machine as far as I KNOW, you should be able to use the Windows Anytime Upgrade option and just use Windows 7 Professional key...
