    Call Microsoft and ask. If they activate your OEM copy on the new computer, then they deem it is ok. If they don't, then you will have to buy another copy. It's as simple as that. I'm an OEM system builder, and that's always been the avenue I take when it comes to moving the OEM copy to a new motherboard.

    They shouldn't really as you can replace Parts of the computer with an OEM version but a MoBo Replacement is deemed as a New computer to MS

    Also I do agree with that link about MS do not state the rules and regulations of licensing very well
