I am not in that to deep. IIRC oem has no meaning in Germany. This is |
15 |
part of the license agreement what you have to accept after buying the |
16 |
software. Law says you have to accept it before or it is not part of the |
17 |
contract. |

I never tried lately but you should be able to install from every Win CD |
19 |
you find and just use the code from that green sticker. There even is a |
20 |
tool you can download from Microsoft to change your key - like you once |
21 |
hat a pirated version with a cracked key and now you want to turn legal |
22 |
again. Download the tool, enter the code you bought, you are done |
23 |
without installing everything again. |
24 |
|
25 |
But again I don't know if it works in every constellation nor if it is |
26 |
legal everywhere. |
