[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 461388, member: 21101"] It's not that complicated, but the EULA for OEM software from MS did change recently. Basically, the EULA did not come into effect until you had installed the software on a machine, and it was permitted to buy the software with a single component of the machine you were building. At the point you installed XP, it became 'married' to that hardware and at that point becomes non-transferable. All of this changed on 2006... The important bit is that it is not down to the reseller to ensure this is adhered to, because until the software is installed, the agreement does not come into effect. The same applies to Student Teacher versions of Office etc. End of story. [/QUOTE]
