With OEM if you bin your PC, you have to buy new OEM licences for the new box. There's bugger all that physically stops you moving an OEM licence - it's only companies that usually worry about it. One of our customers here got audited last year for things like transferring OEM office licences onto new PCs, and buying OEM licences without the necessary hardware, this cost them a couple of hundred thousand quid
