I'd like to highlight the importance of providing legitimate licenses for Windows XP if possible. Note, though, that OEM licenses can not be transferred. However, if the whole system (along with an OEM license) can be provided, the machine (with the OEM license) is transferable. OEM keys are simply locked to the physical box that has the sticker of authenticity and activation code stuck to it.
However, if you have any RETAIL licenses for windows XP that are now unused (or windows 2000/ME/NT with Windows XP Upgrade licenses), they are still quite valuable. To hi-light this value, any computer licensed to run Windows XP, Vista, or 7, is eligible to be upgraded to a Windows 8 license for $39.99 for residential users (maximum 5 per household). http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/02/upgrade-to-windows-8-pro-for-39-99.aspx -- Chris On Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 6:44 PM, Mark Jenkins <[email protected]> wrote: > On 12/10/12 09:18 PM, Colin Stanners wrote: > >> While I'm eager to help, the last point is incorrect - I was looking >> for the skskpublic pcs (I had originally setup 6) and found one in the >> giveaway pile. >> > > My apologies, that was probably my mistake during the very rapid clear out > that happened one day in the back workshop (old shelves) room. > > What I meant was, there won't be any deliberate raiding. > > ______________________________**_________________ > SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List > Help: > http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/**index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss<http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss> > Archive: > https://groups.google.com/**group/skullspace-discuss-**archive/<https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/> >
