OEM was the wrong word to use.   As with the 2009 typo.   I can't seem to type 
or think tonight.

Thanks to both of you!

No I don't expect it will work. 

How do you purchase an OEM license? OEM licenses by definition come with new 
hardware. 

Thanks,

Greetings,

Somebody set up a machine with a retail version of 2009 enterprise 64 bit.   
They did not activate as they were going to purchase an oem license.  The 
company uses a third party for all OS licensing needs.....

Can they use it or is it a reload of the OS?

Thanks
