Nero OEM -
My experiences indicate that it tends to be shipped specialised to only work
in a system with the single CD/DVD drive installed with which it was
shipped.
This is true (at the very least) with the older Nero OEM versions...
The serial number was embedded in an INI file, or somewhere on the
install CD (I had seen them there). That was what told it to only work with
a certain "type" of drive... Sometimes those "types" crossed over to different
brands, (if there was too much "re-badging" going on at the time), and the lines
were not clear who made what... (Perfect for a case of YMMV <grin>...)
But, the (older) OEM disks were pretty good at working with "just" the drive
they came with, and not too many others...
I played with all this because I had the problem of having two drives and two
"install numbers". (See below about where to get OEM install number.)
For the same (single) program installation, I could use the "change number
feature" to use one OR the other as a burner... That got old realllly quick,
and I got a FULL version of the software which worked with any drive it
recognised... (The older versions will not work with a drive they do not
recognise -- AKA one NOT in the "general database" of supported drives...)
Note: The easiest place to get the install serial number (especially for an OEM
version) is in the nero history file..
