An important information to be always taken into account when changing over to 64-bit systems. An older PC can often be converted to 64 bits only by means of changing the motherboard. Pursuant to Microsoft’s new OEM agreement, the license of the OEM operating system of the PC containing the old motherboard becomes void in these cases, i.e. a new license must be bought anyway.
Microsoft justify this amendment by stating that a new computer is built when changing the motherboard, to which the original OEM license will no longer apply. Before the amendment, it was possible to modify main parts, e.g. the motherboard within the framework of OEM to certain extent.
The main point of OEM license is that, in case of purchasing a new computer, it is possible to purchase certain software for a discounted price. The terms and conditions of purchase and use are governed by the corresponding agreement. Such software may differ from the box version in product support as well. During the last years, Microsoft have changed their OEM agreement several times. Presently, the OEM license is bound to the motherboard. According to the current interpretation, a new computer is built when changing the motherboard for development purposes, i.e. a new OEM license is required. In case a motherboard is changed due to malfunctioning, a new license is not necessarily required but the malfunction must be verified upon request.
