Frågor gällande OEM licens

Vad jag läst och hört härifrån så kan du kontakta Microsoft så får du en ny nyckel.

Nähä? OEM licenser låser sig till moderkortet. Inte retail dock.

Högst troligen inte.

Din nyckel kommer väl dock omaktiveras, tror inte du får en ny.

"OEM versions of Windows 7 are identical to Full License Retail versions except for the following:

- OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel

- OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on

- OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

- OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system "

"A. Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty."

Jag kan också berätta min historia, jag bytte moderkort och hela tjottahejsan, det aktiverades inte som det skulle och uppmanade mig att ringa ett nummer. Jag ringde numret, fick knappa in något nummer jag fick på datorn, fick ett nytt nummer att skriva in i datorn och vips var det aktiverat utan problem.
