OEM and Full Packaged Product licenses. Clarification

There is considerable confusion with regards to the above, and I will endeavour to describe to your satisfaction the differences.

Clarification of the difference between OEM licenses and Full Packaged Product licenses.

The OEM licenses, which come with Windows when you purchase a computer that has it installed.

That license is forever bound to that computer, and thatʹs why there must be one component ʺleft standingʺ to identify it as the same computer

OEM licenses cost considerably less than the Full Packaged Product license you buy with a standalone box of software, and you can install on any computer

Provided that you remove it from one before installing it on another computer

Make sense ?

With an OEM the motherboard is the holder of the licence

With a boxed version which you buy you can install on another provided you remove it from the first.
