| | After reading the advice and statements regarding Microsoft Activation of Windows and software Ownership, I simply had to step in. You people are simply spreading rummors and crap you read on the Microsoft (EULA). Please read ‘first sale doctrine’. ‘ In the United States, once you own a copy of a program, you can back it up, compile it, run it, sale it and even modify it as necessary, without permission from the copyright holder. Most courts that have addressed the validity of the shrink-wrap license agreements have found them to be invalid. |

1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the Software on a single computer, such as a workstation, terminal or other device ("Workstation Computer"). The Software may not be used by more than one processor at any one time on any single Workstation Computer.http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/eula.mspx10. NOT FOR RESALE SOFTWARE. Software identified as "Not For Resale" or "NFR," may not be sold or otherwise transferred for value, or used for any purpose other than demonstration, test or evaluation.I do think Windows XP falls under the NFR category. Anyways, so that means its not legit from Microsoft, who grants you activation and else you're running an illegal copy of Windows. Repackage and resale it, but Microsoft will not have to activate you at all. And on an internet forum, not everyone is from the United States. Anyway, software is licensed, and not just sold, under an EULA agreement. 'Sold' under the Uniform Commercial Code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Commercial_Code

Yes, computer software now-a-days, no longer conform with traditional rules, where if you buy it, you own it. Instead, you just buy the rights to run the software. However, you can still sell your rights to someone else, as long as you NO LONGER HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER YOURSELF unless stated in the software's EULA, in this case Microsoft barred you from doing so. xboxrulz
