The machine had an OEM license that is not transferable to the new owner. The OEM is no longer in business so to get updates etc it takes a new individual license. If the computer or disk drive die you may have no backup. Probably I could use it for some time and wait to purchase the license when I needed to replace computer or disk drive. In essence while I was using it in that form it would be considered an unlicensed copy. I prefer not to use unlicensed software.
