Re: Use my original COA ( CD-KEY) in my Toshiba laptop

Hi Nigel,

The substantial difference in Licenses has not been pointed out. You did
respond to an earlier enquiry, but the OEM License must accompany hardware
(at least in theory)... no different to the EULA. I assume that there must
be a difference in terms, and I'm glad you picked up on my rant. Perhaps you
can point me in the direction of a copy of the Licence issued separately
that you mention. In my searching, I've hit a few locks:

It's probably been pointed out by others but you did not buy the
'Exact-Same Licence' when you buy
the license with a computer as when you buy the license separately.
