As we know, OEM operating system licenses cannot be transferred. If the motherboard has been upgraded or replaced for a different motherboard for performance or any other reason (other than it is broken) then you will require a new Operating System license as you have effectively created a new machine. Should there be a requirement to make changes to your hardware or its components excluding the motherboard then you can do so while maintaining your Microsoft OEM Operating System license, for example. That form of software is called freeware. Customers now have the option to download the software straight from the vendors website, with the vendor not monitoring or regulating whether or not the user has the device in question. In recent times, the software that comes with printers, cameras, MP3’s and other physical devices (not laptops or desktops) has been made free for anyone to use. However, for other OEM based software such as OEM software that comes with a camera or MP3 device, it is possible to re-install the software on a new device, as long as you can connect said device to your computer. Always remember that the OEM license lives and dies with the hardware it came pre-installed on (if it is provided in that way). OEM software is primarily device based, which means the license is locked to the device that it is provided with. It is worth noting that a lot of OEM software that comes with a device can be downloaded from the vendors website, should the user lose the disk or drivers that enable them to use the device or software.
The most common form of OEM software is the software that comes with a device. Recording editing software that comes with a microphone.Photo editing software that comes with a camera.Operating system pre-installed on a machine.OEM software can range from full-featured applications like operating systems or limited versions of software that try and entice the end user to purchase the full version. This is still a licensable application, but there are different terms and conditions associated with them. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer and ultimately it is software that comes pre-installed with hardware such as desktops, laptops, printers and cameras. I’m sure you’ve heard of software being referred to as an OEM before.
OEM software comes in different forms, including CD.
