I cannot see the purpose in posting regarding pedantics
In essence if the digital licence that was registered for the computer of which the motherboard and cpu has been sold
has now been allocated to another device - by that person notifying a hardware change, then in simple terms, it is not available to the thread starter
The fact that some users may have reported it has been done by as you say
I would askOther users have reported that there is a limit of 5 times that a digital license can be copied to new computers by transferring it through a Microsoft account.
Is it the same digital licence on MORE than one device
OR one particular digital activation moved five times.
IMHO discussing what may happen is very different from what the facts state in Microsoft Licensing condtions.
All that matters is what are the facts according to Microsoft Licensing conditions and those are as I mentioned.
Digital activation - one device at ONE Time.
OR for different editions
With respect I cannot see the benefit of you analysing my post to pick outOne PC or virtual machine can have different digital licenses, one for each edition installed on that machine. Any edition can be clean reinstalled on any machine without a product key, Windows will be automatically activated based on the digital license for whichever edition was installed, subject to said edition having been activated earlier on that machine.
and then post that it is wrong, offering only what may happen.Macboatmaster said:
If as I said the seller had used the digital licence relating to that motherboard on another of their computers, by notifying a hardware change, then the digital licence will not be available to "10problem"
I just cannot see the point in your post
If someone posts advice that is most definitely wrong or incorrect, such as if I HAD said that the digital entitlement was
recorded in the motherboards firmware or even the registry etc, then I can see why it would be corrected
