Kaneda Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hello all,I have two XP Pro CDs here, both are legit with their own keys. One is my own, it is an OEM. The other one is from my office, it is a boxed retail XP. I bought the OEM in a store here with a hard disc and memory (apparently, that is legal in Japan - In Germany you can even buy "System Builder Editions" even without hardware I think).I used the CD from my office to create a new installation disc (with nLite). I did this because I think it was a newer source which required less slipstreaming. Well can I use now my OEM-key on that CD? Both are XP Pro (none is Corp License or anything).Or is there actually also a license difference in the key that it won't work?thks for any quick help!regards,kaneda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaneda Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Ok, now I know it doesn't work. So I have to start slipstreaming again with the other CD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 As you have found out already...the keys aren't interchangeable. For example, you can't use a Retail on an OEM disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
