pulled from dead DELL pcs. each will come with a piece of hardware from the PC.
$50 each.
BTC/LTC accepted and preferred, otherwise paypal is good

AFAIK, OA key is not transferable and it cannot be resale for any of the reason.

Yeah...this. OEM keys from any Windows license are worthless without the computer was installed and registered on. Non transferable to other hardware.

Not only is this against the rules and EULA, but OA keys are only activated with the BIOS on the original motherboard.

I would close the thread.

perhaps it don't fit in with the EULA but they will reactivate without issue, at least in my experience.

I've had the opposite experience.

I have never had a problem.... ever. Technically.... microsoft says the "motherboard" or core of the computer IS the computer, however as long as you have a valid liscence and attach it to your case, a microsoft representitve has told me that is usually good enough for them as long as the old hardware is destroyed or the computer is non operational and parted out. Technically speaking though, unless you reuse the motherboard.....

Offers to distribute parts of the OEM System Builder software packages are not legal. Under no circumstances are system builders or any other vendors authorized to distribute single OEM System Builder software components such as stand-alone Certificates of Authenticity (COAs).

Please note that the Certificate of Authenticity included with each OEM System Builder software package authenticates only the software components with which it is legally distributed. As mentioned, any offer to distribute parts of the Microsoft software package (e.g., COA only) is not authorized, and any individual who was to obtain parts of the Microsoft software components would not be authorized to use the associated software or redistribute the components. For OEM System Builder Windows desktop operating systems, the complete software package must include the COA, hologram CD, and manual(s).

So if the mainboard dies and you replace it, you have to purchase another license?

Yeah, right....

Completely false. Dell's won't touch the CD-Key on the label. They are activated via a SLIC 2.1 table.

Yes, unless it's replaced with the same make and model of motherboard, that's exactly what it means. This is nothing new. OEM licenses are tied to the machine it was originally installed on. Now, MS has been known to allow people to re-activate an OEM key on a system whose configuration has changed (mobo died, replaced with a different version), but that's not an exception to the rule.

Dell CD'd and Dell keys are NFR software and can not be legally resold here or anywhere else...

as for everyone else, all your comments are thread craps..in the future if you see a problem, use the report post function or take your comments to PM .
