Users who run a Microsoft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
operating system may upgrade or replace most of the hardware components
on the computer and still maintain the license for the original
Microsoft OEM operating system software provided by the OEM, with the
exception of an upgrade or a replacement of the motherboard . An upgrade
or a replacement of the motherboard is considered to create a new
em software
cannot be transferred from another computer. If the motherboard is
upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect then a new
computer
is created, and a new operating system license is required. If the
motherboard is replaced because of a defect, the user does not need to
acquire a new operating system license for the computer. The
motherboard
replacement must be the same make and model, or the same manufacturer's
replacement or equivalent, as defined by that manufacturer's warranty.
The reason for this licensing rule primarily relates to the end-user
license agreement (EULA) and the support of the software covered by
that
EULA. The EULA is a set of usage rights granted to the end-user by the
computer manufacturer. The EULA relates only to rights for that
software
as installed on that particular computer. The System Builder is
required
to support the software on that individual computer.
