Licence to USE the software. OEM version, Retail version etc. My understanding of the licence agreement is that it should not be illegal to download a replacement installation CD copy.
ONLY illegal to use it other than its intended purpose. Or am I missing something in the licence agreement that says your licence only extends to the original copy on the CD or HDD as in preinstalled machines? Ok heres a good one. Been through all these comments and found nothing on this. I have am about start a business in computer repairs. I will be taking computers from people, and in some cases formating there hard drives.
By all this do you mean that if you do not have the original disks for windows and you get a computer from somewhere, you have to re-purchase a key for that box because you wont have the original disks??? If so I will have to be making people repurchase there operating systems, or even worse be asking them to provide me with all the disks that came with there computer? It is a violation of the EULA agreements that you inevitably agree to during the installation of Windows.
If what they are asking you to do does NOT require an upgrade of any kind — then simply using their product key usually tagged on the bottom or side of the machine would not be a violation of the EULA. As I work in an IT-related field, I can tell you that your answer is incredibly simple.
Your version of windows matters less on the physical title, and more on your product key. That was when I was a student. To Paul with the dell computers, to start off with, if the computers came preloaded and have a restore partition then you should hve made backups of everything including the restore partitions if it didnt come with a restore partition Id of still made an image of the drive before using it.

I know you cant use a microsoft supplied disk with a dell supplied key. Personally, Ive had no problem with dell, I work on them all the time for people that statement isnt intended to make dell sound bad, I actualy like em and as for the restore disks, they have sent me free of charge a half dozen or so restore disks for various computers of theirs, including computers that havent been warrantied in quite some time.
I had just reformatted my hard drive which is not the original drive that came with my dell. Any ideas as to why this is? I had purchased HCL a branded computer along with licenced windows xp.
But I observed in recent times that CD is not able to recover not it installing the Windows XP on my computer though I have the product key with me. What must be the reason? As I have purchased a licenced software I am unable to restore the same? Please help me in installing my windows XP without recurring my expenses. I installed a new hard drive on my puter, I do not have windows disk as I believe myine was pre loaded or the disk was lost, however, I do have my product key.
Sorry, but this article is stupid. There are about 10 billion windows XP keys floating around out there. Just find any dead PC that has the sticker on it. That license is not longer being used, and it fair game. I have about 30 old hard drives and some of them have XP on them. I looked into them and found the product key or got it off the tag on the old computer.
I moved the systems onto bigger HDDs and put them into newer comps. The other thing I do is install Linux, there are many different Linux OS out there and some are better than others.
Just go on Google and burn it on a disc. Take care of the disc because they use a different lingo for the same thing and reinstalling is easier than fixing what you screwed up. And you will. Try to have as much ram as possible, 1 gig is nice. I just found a nice OS two days ago and it seems to do everything well. Click on things till you find Firefox then make google your home page or leave it or whatever and your away. It will do everything XP will but you need a case of Prozak before you find out how to use it.
