If I do a search for Windows 8 Professional x64
in my country, the only version I can find is having the code fqc-05955
and is labeled OEM
.
If I perform same search on amazon.com
, the only version I can find is having the code fqc-05956
and is labeled System Builder
.
There's not much information about licensing of Windows 8 that I could find. According to this article when using System Builder
it can be transferred from one computer to another.
What are the differences in licensing between those 2?
Is fqc-05955
transferable from one hardware to another like System Builder
is?
Can I install fqc-05955
on a computer I already own that has no prior windows licensing? I am asking this, since many stores that sell fqc-05955
say it can only be bough with a computer.
Thanks for your help!
