Hi,
we have nearly 60 computers. When i started to work there was no license
management. Now I want to collect product key & ID infomartions from the CDs
and computers.
My questions: I have "XP Pro System Builder" CDs and many other "XP Pro
Genuine" CDs. I want to install and change them on all workstations where
Win2000 is installed. The admin before me has sticked the certificate of
authenticity and Product Key stickers on the backside of the CD covers. They
aren't installed anywhere, so can I use them and install them legally?
And can I install a "XP Pro OEM" on a different PC, when the old PC is out
and not any mor useable. Or is it to be used just with the PC it was sold
with?
Thank You all...

you are an admin and as clueless as your post ? hard to
oems can never be moved to a new machine without breaking
the licensing agreement as an admin you are held legally
responsible for any licensing issues, you should contact
microsoft directly and become fully informed because you
could be severely fined and never get another admin job
if you do this wrong and microsoft catches you,unlike a
casual home user who will never be prosecuted in a
setting of 50 to 100 computers you could get caught and
would be prosecuted.although no jail time is ever likely
you could be fined tens of thousands of dollars per theft
and then no one in the industry would ever hire you again
as you and the company would be fined.
