Why don't you ask the person that I was replying to since they brought
the subject up. Oh yea, you quoted the entire exchange but didn't
comprehend what you quoted or just didn't have the literacy to read
what you quoted....

Ask the author of the subject.... Duh....... and while your at it,
take a course in courtesy, kid....

there is a small
law firm that changes out their computers once every few years.

Actual as long they remove the os and is not an oem they must allow
it. They don't have to support it but they must activate and validate
it. It is legal? Didn't they try going through their contacts
first?

A law firm?? I wander if microsoft lost a case with them??

Can you email an link(s) to the case remove.

Keep me posted on the case by email thank you.

Remove y.e.s. to contact me

I'll scan in and post a copy of an article in
our local newspaper where our local Library went through a head to head
with Bill Gates when they upgraded all their computers last year and
Gates refused to activate each single copy of XP removed from each old
machine and brought forward to each of the new machines.


To do have a free news link to that story?

Thank you.

"Kid" is exactly right. I noticed how this thread started with
everyone acknowledging each other's courtesy and thanking each other
for courtesy. I was wondering how long it would take one of the pencil
dicked children to come in and show their immaturity and total lack of
the understanding of how courtesy works. You can spot them easily, no
substantive contribution to the adult conversation except childish,
discourteous flaming and attack. And toward the wrong person to beat
it all. What you have is a second time around, 3rd grade failure
trying to operate in an adult environment and blowing it like they blew
their second time around at 3rd grade.

Glad you had a good trip Tom (the adult one) and good to see you back.
Looking forward to many more "courteous" conversations with you.

The so as long as it is a Retail edition, it can be deactivated and reactived
on another machine. I have a copy of XP home that I am no longer using as I
upgraded to XP Pro. I can sell the XP home on eBay with no problems. Would I
have to deactivate before selling it so the purchaser doesn't get hassled?

there is no "deactivation" if it is "retail" then as long as that key is
not currently being used ...you can re-activate it on another computer...

OEM and upgrade CD's are another story :>

There is no deactivation process. If it's a retail license it can be sold.
Include the COA, documentation and disk. Upon installation by the new buyer
it will have to be activated either through the internet, which is probably
what will happen, or if less than 120 days from the last activation, by
phone. OEM licenses that have been used can't be sold or transferred. If
that XP Home copy was used as the qualifying media for the upgrade to XP
with an XP Pro upgrade, then it is tied to that license and cannot be sold
or transferred.
