Hi there,
I bought a brand new Dell Reinstallation DVD with a valid OEM COA sticker attached. As I had a proper retail copy of windows 7 in the drawer (bought for another build but obviously can't use my retail license as using it on another PC, hence the reason for buying this OEM copy), I decided to install my retail copy of windows 7 as a trial and activated using my OEM license from my Reinstallation DVD without needing the Dell DVD at all. I'm thinking of selling the disc on ebay as I don't need it (NOT with my OEM COA sticker of course), but having never used this sort of disc myself before, I'm worried that someone can steal my license by installing the contents of the Dell DVD, but they can't right? They'd need the sticker wouldn't they and besides my license is now tied to my motherboard so even if they didn't need the sticker, they still wouldn't be able to use my license. Is this correct? Just wanted to make absolutely sure. Please advise.
Many thanks!
