Windows OEM license for physical relationship.

I ask this question in the forum Hardware because what I read; a Windows OEM license is married to a motherboard or hard drive.

Is this true? The results of the research gave me conflicting answers.

What happens if the motherboard or the C: drive dies? the associated Windows license would be lost with her?

A computer components store told me that for the OEM depends more on what are the elements of qualification you purchase, or when you buy them. Which is in conflict with what I read.

Note - my choice of OS Windows is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1, OEM.

OEM qualifies for all DIY systems.

  • Portege R500 - Toshiba does sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
    I have now installed a version of Windows 7 without activation to see if all the drivers are working (Windows 8 is not supported I know).

    Everything looks good and Windows tells me now as planned, it is not authentic and propose to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems that MS sells not more Windows 7).

    Toshiba sells licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 OEM?

    It would be a shame to throw it away because of this.

    Thank you
    Markus

    All you can do is to order a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    The recovery disc contains exactly the same operating system that was preinstalled on the laptop on the first day of purchase.

    In your case, this means that you will get the recovery with Win XP OS disk.

    As Timox said: If you want to use the other system than Win XP, you must purchase the Microsoft operating system.

  • You can use version for VM Windows OEM license

    1. can I use OEM version for virtual machine window.

    2 in case I created a new copy and removed the old how it will affect license.
    3. If I want to create a new virtual machine by throwing an old can I use same OEM license
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, you can use the OEM System Builder License in a virtual machine.

    In what concerns by deleting and recreating a VM, I don't know to be honest, given the virtual machine itself is considered to be a computer and to move the license to a new virtual machine would be considered in the eyes of the LICENSE as another machine.

    What I suggest do you after installing Windows 7 OEM in a virtual machine and activate it, you must create a snap shot of your active install. When you are ready to throw a virtual machine just back to the snapshop so it will look like new.

  • Windows XP license for home computers

    If an individual has Windows XP on a computer at home, and they get a second computer for use in their home, can I use the Windows XP license from their original computer to install XP on their second computer? Or should they buy a second copy of Windows XP for use at home?

    If you have a version of Windows XP OEM (the one that came with a new computer), you can only install it on this computer.

    If you have a retail version of Windows XP, you can remove a computer and install it on another computer.

    If you want Windows XP on both computers, you must purchase a second copy.

  • Windows 7 license for use in VMware

    I need to buy a license and the installation media to install Windows 7 in VMware. Can I do it? How?

    Yes, you can.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

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

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    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.

  • Windows licensing for vSphere Essentials all Linux virtual machines running

    We offer vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus of application virtualization on a company that currently has 4 servers that run multiple applications under CentOS. The two products are very good values, providing important functionality at a reasonable cost. Yet, society of the end-user has some resistance to the required cost of Windows Server licenses. There is no Windows servers on this network. Even a minimal vSphere Essentials requires usually 3 Windows Server licenses (for the domain controller, vCenter server, and database server) and a SQL server license. Even when using standard licenses, the total cost of these is higher than the cost of the essential elements of vSphere. Other people deploying vSphere Essentials on Linux-oriented networks are finding ways to use a lower number of Windows Server licenses?

    vCenter Linux would be an alternative in such cases, but this project seems to be stalled.

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    If you're only going to do the virtualization of servers (not VMware View) the vCenter Server does not need to be a member of the domain, or you need a separate SQL Server for a small environment. The edition of SQL SERVER 2005 Express (included in the vCenter Server installation) is sufficient.

    While a single license of Windows (more CALs) would do.

  • Qty 9 Vista > Windows 7 licenses

    How can I get Qty 9 Windows 7 licenses for Vista OEM computers & detail 9?

    I have 9 computers running genuine Vista Home Premium (32-bit 5, 4 64 bit) licensed. I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. (A clean install is ok if a place in the upgrade is not an option). I did Digital River 32 - bit and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium discs. So I think that I now only need Windows 7 Home Premium licenses?

    Most of the computers are OEM (HP, Dell) but 3 computers had installed retail Windows (non OEM) and 1 was an upgrade on the spot of XP to Vista. Will be the licenses that I find work any installation of Vista was already installed? I am not concerned by the assumption, only the licenses that I get to be recognized and authenticated during the installation.

    What would be the best (cheapest) way for me to get the licenses I need? I prefer not to buy physical media of retail packages that sell usually for $90 - $99 which is almost $1,000 and they are all old computers. I found a place online selling 'Download only' licenses for $55, which seems to be a reasonable investment to keep these computers going a few more years. I've never bought only before licenses. Is a reasonable price of $55, or is there a way easier, cheaper or better? How much would be volume licensing become an option?

    Finally, if I do a fresh install can I take the 32-bit Vista systems and make all 7 computer 64-bit Windows systems by installing simply with the 64-bit key? This way I could end up with 9 computers all running Windows 7 64 bit that would make things a little easier.

    Last question: a license of Windows 7 can be used to install Windows 7 on a computer that was originally XP? Currently, the computer in question has no OS installed but has a valid XP COA sticker and installation disk original XP (Dell OEM XP SP2 "Reinstall operating system drive").

    Thank you for answering my questions of license.

    You know what this site is selling? MSDN/TechNet licenses:

    On MSDN or TechNet product key

    They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.

    In your case, what can happen, you buy a MSDN license key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sells you probably eventually sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use.

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

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.

  • The disk (with no key) installed Vista Home Premium, and the license key OEM is for... Home Basic!

    I recently did a clean install with the disc that came with my Dell XPS6400 (bought in the auction) local computer, which had only "Vista 32bits" written on it and no product key.  I thought I could use the key on the sticker on the underside of the computer OEM license, even if the 2 characters in the 3rd section were partially missing - they had to be one of the other four.  When OEM license was initially considered valid, I realized that I had not yet downloaded a service pack, but after that, he was still to come as being invalid!  Then, I found that the version of Vista that was on the disc was "Home Premium" and the OEM for "Home Basic" license key  Do I have to reinstall the whole system, drivers, etc., in order to establish the upgrade?  (Please say "NO", there is an easier way to do this!    Here's the MGADiag. -I hope it helps.  :-}

    The product key on the bottom will work for what he says he is, Windows Home Basic Edition.

    Reinstall the correct Systyem, Windows Home Edition basic operation to use this product key.

    And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    To reinstall Vista Home Basic read this information.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought, not that one 32-bit, vista, your computer must be on the hard drive to reinstall recovery Partition Vista to how you bought your computer, which may or may not work after the installation of the wrong edition.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
