RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT : Windows Licensing Clarification

I won't be able to defend you in court (my JD is from Bubba's School of Law and Bartending :-) ), but IMHO you have a legal license to the original operating system.  If Microsoft allows an upgrade from that platform to the one you want, then all you need is an upgrade. At least that what I would do and would feel comfortable with it.   John   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Checca Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 9:24 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT : Windows Licensing Clarification You really need to get that answer in writing from an Microsoft Licensing department specialist.      Christopher Checca Packard Transport, Inc.

A pc comes with 95,98,or W2k installed from the pc manufacturer. That is an OEM license. When that person wants to upgrade to XP, would they purchase an upgrade under open license agreement or would they need to purchase a full?
