right, ok, when did i say anything about transferring a license from one computer to another? stop quoting my posts if your responses have nothing to do with them, i find it irritating.
you keep squawking nonsense about transferring the license. i said, the OP probably has the vista license sticker on the side of his computer but doesnt have the installation discs. i then proceeded to say that i thought you can use a retail vista disc to reinstall the OS on that computer, using the license on the side of the case. everybody else seemed to understand what i said, so i dont think it was confusing. jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.
It was in response to your saying you can use an OEM license on a retail disk, which may or may not work but they typically batch the keys, so there is a good chance that it will not work. Plus, on a legal level I don't think it is allowed. So I stated this since this forum does not support anything illegal.
If it pisses you off that bad just use the ignore feature, this is just a website man, no need to get irritated over something on the interwebs.
It sounds to me like they are trying to transfer a license from a prebuilt system to one they are building, which you can't do. Though they stated they just replaced major components. Which is where the license agreement gets very gray.
