Question someone asked me today.. didnt know the real answer:
They have an old Packard Bell pc that they are going to scrap, however with it they have an XP cd and the old machine has an XP COA label on it marked Packard Bell.
Would it not be legal for them to remove from the scrapped pc and use for their new pc they built ?
I had heard somewhere that some EU law says you can do this as the COA/license is yours and that if you are transferring it then that is legal.
However somewhere else i have read that MS say under no circumstances can you transfer any license between machines.
If anyone knows the true law on this and any links that would be good so i can fwd on.
