You cannot use OEM software of any sort on anything other than the hardware it was sold with. Resellers who purport to sell such versions with broken motherboards etc. so the software can be used on other hardware are simply deceiving the buyers into believing they'll have a valid licence for that other hardware; they wont. Period.

So, yes, it's legal to buy and sell OEM software; you just can't legally use it on a different computer.

As I've told you this repeatedly but you seem uninterested in anything other than a reply that confirms you can do as you please, I'm closing this thread.
