• 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

• Transfer OEM license key

  I currently have Windows 7 64 bit OEM installed on my computer. I really need to update my motherboard. I was told that, with an OEM copy, you can call Microsoft and ask them to reactivate your key, so you can install it on a new motherboard. Is this true? If Yes is it useful to do and don't buy another copy?

  Well well, according to the terms of the license:

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

• If I have an OEM, license and decide to improve

  I have a dell oem license and I wanted to know if I update I will be able to change it to another pc. that it out of each other

  You use this OEM license as part of the basis for the upgrade.
  If you don't have it, you should buy a FULL license instead of an upgrade license.

  And certain rules of Licening for you:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

• OEM licenses on motherboards...

  So about 1.5 to 2 years ago I built a custom PC and bought an OEM SP1 of Win7 HP for her. I was aware the links of license to the motherboard. My father has also recently bought a PC, although it has not installed the SP1 of HP OEM Win7 that accompanies it. His mother is better than mine, so I offered to pay the difference and swap motherboards. I have 2 years ' worth of information on the SSD that has my Windows installed on it, and I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer my SSD (with the OS on it) to a new motherboard without having to erase the disc? I have to call Microsoft and ask if they can remove the license of my current motherboard? Or any kind of impossible swap? Thank you.

• Re: Satellite M70-168: new HD and OEM license

  Hello

  My Satellite is out of warranty...
  Original HD (80 gb) broke, and it is impossible to find the same HD.
  I'll replace it with a HGST Travelstar 5 K 750 HTS547575A9E384 - HD - 750 GB - SATA-300.

  1. I think that 2 Sata (sata 300) is compatible, but work to only at speed of sata 1 (sata 150). Is this a problem?
  2. restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first inning, license is OEM allow this work, or block the restoration?

  Sorry for my bad language... Frenchie Frenchie's

  Thank you very much.

  Satellite M70 is old but good laptop and with the new drive HARD and clean OS preinstalled, it should work well. I had it a long time ago and if I m remembering well there connector SATA HDD SATA HDD can be used.

  I think 750GB can be too much and I don t know if it will work OK. Used mine M70 with 320 GB of HARD drive.
  You can test it, but please post comments.
  > Do to restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first round
  You can use the original picture but if I m remembering well that old book has been delivered with the recovery disk (WXP Home) and I put t know what you have created.
  > OEM license allow this work, nor block the restoration
  As far as I know, the license of the sticker belongs to the recovery image and you cannot use it for the activation of the operating system. If you use original recovery DVD that you got with your laptop you don t need. preloaded will be activated automatically.

• By the policy of Lenovo, OEM license not activate the Office trial

  I just bought my ThinkPad. It came with a 60 day trial of Office Professional 2007. Separately, I bought an OEM license on eBay. It is authentic, with the box, blank discs, printed cards and hologram. But the OEM license is rejected. I could not understand why until I read this thread, which is that Lenovo is blocking you in purchasing a license of their own.

  I guess I could buy a retail version of Office Professional with the discs, but I didn't want to spend that much. I installed Open Office 3.0 and may simply stick with this free solution, even if I really feel like MS Publisher.

  Any suggestions? The work of OEM license so I can uninstall the trial and borrow some Office 2007 OEM disks?

• XP question: reuse an OEM license

  I was given a ten-year-old PC, which originally had an OEM of XP version on it. I was necessary to erase the disc, so I'm starting again. I have a Microsoft genuine XP disc I bought when it was new and a MSDN XP SP3 of the school record. I tried one of them (I don't remember which) to install XP using the OEM license, but the validation failed, I guess because I wasn't using an OEM disk. I'm not trying to cheat Microsoft because I am trying to reinstall an OEM on the original PC license (I didn't know that Microsoft cared more XP). Windows expects a genuine OEM disc to use?

  Yes, I know that XP is old and is no longer supported. It is a laboratory machine for transferring files from IDE drives.

  Do a new installation CD/media set you have a tour in an OEM one...

  Hello

  You can also use this method.

  You do not have a Vista disc that came with the computer to reinstall with, you should have a recovery Partition to do.

  Here is the HP Compaq information on how to use the recovery partition to put your computer in a new State.

  You press F11 at startup or through their Recovery Manager.

  It is all explained in this link.

• OEM license question

  Hello

  I just upgraded my desktop computer: I have replace the card mother + CPU + RAM + GPU. I have install Windows7 OEM version in this new system.

  I am about to sell my old equipment as a set card mother + RAM + CPU + GPU - basically an entire computer under drive hard-disk/optical/case/keyboard/mouse. Now, I had a version of Windows VISTA OEM specific to this system. Am I allowed to include in my sale, since it is the OEM version, attached to the original mother/CPU/GPU card?

  A buyer might have trouble to install/activate this version because it will be on a new hard drive?

  Thanks for your help.

  
  

  No, there no need to include the hard drive.  If it's even computer it can be re-installed on this computer (and ONLY this computer) if theonly change is a new player that you seem to be saying now hard (and you can probably also bring another device changes as well as long as it's the same computer).  It cannot be moved to another computer, regardless of how much of the old computer, move you with him - it must be the original, same computer only.  It is acceptable but not what I initially understood.

  My problem is using the OEM Windows 7 disk on another machine, but now it seems that it is a new machine that came with this OEM license and re-installed on this same new machine.  It is also acceptable.

  The issue in both cases change motherboard (and all that of other things).  It's the people of Activation or not they want to examine the same computer or not.  Since the automated process does not work, you will need to talk to them and explain the situation and hope that they decide to allow the activaion because rules when so many changes are done become a bit vague and open to interpretation.  I suggest that you select one that you want to sell before sale to ensure that it is permissible and we meet with a problem after the sale.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
