Think this is the right place to put this. Can some 1 tell me if it would be illegal for me to import Windows cp home editions with oem and sell them on ebay with out hardware?
cant it be sold to computer builders? so it dosent have to be sold with and hardware but once its been installed or registerd to a pc it has to remain with that pc?
Well, you need to be an authorized distributor to be able to sell it to computer builders in that case and they do not usually get a couple of copies but big volume in that case, usually not through ebay. When you say 'import' are you getting it from outside your country ? Because you need to check the terms of sales here.
yea imported from china Ive been reading up on terms and conditions, and microsoft dont make it easy to understand, but i think i understand im allowed to sell them on ebay as long as it comes with hardware? http://oem.microsoft.com/downloads/Public/sblicense/English_SB_License.pdf
Are the China Windows XP original or they are pirated ? My experience is that you do get a lot of counterfeit software from China so you need to be careful that you are getting an authenticate version of it. In China, you should be getting the Chinese version of Windows XP not the English version. Could you check directly with Microsoft legal in regards to this ? We are no lawyers here and if anything, you need to deal direct with Microsoft.
