Re: OEM Install Restrictions

It is really disapointing not to be able to reinstall OEM XP on a different computer once you un-install the original copy from old computer.


How so? You'd paid significantly less for that OEM license than you would have paid for a retail license. By paying less, you purchased less.


You have paid for *your* licence so you should be able to use it on YOUR computer as you see fit.


Now that's nonsense. By purchasing the "license," you agree to abide by it's terms; expecting to then be freely able to renege upon one's agreement is absurd.


The EULA is abusive and its a non-sense.


No, it's neither. But feel free to purchase any other license with whose terms you're more comfortable.
