Correct, I forgot to mention that part. However, even that has an exception. The OEM provider can move it to another computer if the original computer experiences a failure within the OEM’s warranty period and can not be fixed and is instead replaced. Been there done that.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Bierbaum Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 8:12 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT : Windows Licensing Clarification   OEM stays with the computer, dies with the computer.  You are not allowed to transfer an OEM license to another computer.  Retail Boxed, Open License, etc. you are allowed to transfer between computers.   Todd Bierbaum - MCP BankTrust - IT Department Office:  850-835-3335 ext 106 Cell:  850-598-3993     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff (Lists) Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 10:00 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT : Windows Licensing Clarification Upgrade.

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?
