Want Microsoft 2know of move & change of PC in order to retain licence
If memory serves me right I have a license for my Windows products for 2 computers. I will be doing 2 things: -1- Changing one of these computers and moving country (China).
Since my Win 7 OS is an OEM version on DVD bought separately from my PC (It's generic and not Dell, Acer or anything) I planned on taking the new flash drive that it now sits on and take it with me while I sell the rest of the PC or give it away (replacing it with my previous HD and putting Linux in it). I also have Office 2010 (and Adobe Suite)
Can I do that? without fear of violating some license agreement. The reason is that the PC that will be given to me will be in Chinese, with a Chinese OS so I would rather work with my own English OS and English Office. My reading of a license is that it is given for 2 computers without being specific as to which these 2 computers are. In other words, in theory at least, as long as I only have 2 computers in my home using the software then it's OK.
[Also since it is China I wonder if certain things are different in terms of licensing. BTW my English Windows 7 DVD was purchased while I was in Taiwan]
Thank you
