With an OEM copy, that licence is tied to ONE COMPUTER. This means, for instance, that if you uninstall the OEM licence from one machine and then try to install and activate it on another it won't. To summarize: Upgrade editions can be installed as many times as you want and re-activated as long as it is only activated to one machine at a time OEM editions can only be used on the computer that was activated on them first...any subsequent activations must be used on the same machine that it was activated on prior When I asked the MVP's how this is enforced since the upgraded OS is not deactivated or linked to the upgrade, they told me that it is not but is only binding in the EULA, that you can in actuality move an Upgrade anywhere you want as long as it is one machine at a time. Just to be safe, I pulled out my retail XP to put on my laptop to use with the Upgrade disk so it would be portable for life, but when it arrived it clean installed to formatted HDD, so I didn't need it. So much for Technet's EULese. Now Technet is insisting that these clean installs are against the EULA and could later be caught up with by WGA. Who has time for all this? (Technet) |

I'm going to reinstall anyway, but that was pretty easy contrary to what some said. |
