Sorrie here, I'm kinda blur about those original software. My question is : I need a Original licience key for Office use.

So while im using a original licience for Window XP home edition, I cant transfer to office use right? I need to have a Window XP office edition in order to use in office ?

the 2nd question is. I planned to get 2nd hand, bcoz its cheaper. but how can i verified whether its original or not? Should I summit my name to Mircosoft or anything? Let's say if someone come to office and check whether we are using original licience code. What should i show them to verify?

Thanks for ur time

Do you mean you're gonna bring your laptop to office and use? or you want a separate Ori Win XP to be installed in your office pc?

its a desktop actually. I wanna bring my house pc to office, hence i need an original licience code?

Is your current PC's Windows ori? because from what you mentioned in the first post, you seem to be saying you're using ori Windows XP Home

if u got da sticker den can lah... wanna transfer must b retail type only.. better b safe or elese kena caught prepare to pay k's

yeah. im using home edition ori. plan 2 buy a new pc. so would like to xfer to the new pc. and the old pc. i muz office edition in order to put in factory rite?


if got sticker. also muz b window xp office but nt home edition rite?

um it's like this. There's no office edition of Windows XP. Only Home and Professional version. Both are legal for office use as long as you have the license sticker on the PC and original installer CD.

but be aware that in order to be able to transfer to another PC, your Windows must be Retail version, not OEM. OEM versions (usually shipped and preinstalled with branded PCs like DELL, HP, etc) cannot be transferred. They must die with the PC it was installed on.

Furthermore, you must also look into other licensed software like Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PP, Outlook, etc), unless you're going the open source (free) way using Open Office.

Wow. U have made my picture clear.

So I can buy a retail Window XP home edition for office then i can reuse is reuse right?

XP retail version if i'm not mistaken, can be activated a few times (not simultaneously). But after that, you will need to call Microsoft to activate it.

Retail wil cost abt RM600++ rite?

not sure about the price. I can't find retail version in Lowyat shops' pricelist. Maybe you can give them a call or put WTB in Garage Sales

btw, it's kind of weird ur just gonna bring 1 desktop to the office. The current office don't have computers? and why just 1 unit...

the oni change is the location and usage of the pc isit?

if its legit, xp home can use anywhere. on the moon also can. no restrictions except us embargo places

that is my dad's factory. hence i wanna change new pc. so i take my own pc and shift to my dad office. tats why i need a retail. Bcoz my pc is kinda long ago. scare anythin break down. so retail is better.

just use XP home. I can sell you 1 license if u interested.

I sell you @ a special discount rate. CD & Key included cheaper than market rate.

Mine is OEM version u can reactivate a few times if it cant be activated u can call direct to microsoft malaysia to activate it no problem.

why is your OEM so special? can reactive so many times?

because it for manufacturer....but i suppose retail and OEM is just same....retail also can activate many time..

there is a limit of activation to prevent fraud or privacy.

IF you have quite numbers of PC to get licensed, you could opt for special licensing scheme from Microsoft. You'll usually get it cheaper than buying an individual license for each PCs (which cost around rm280+ per PC). Same goes for Microsoft Office.

It is call a volume license
