The cheap "OEM" software advertised on the internet...is it legal? Does it work?

1 Scarecrow, regarding your answer "Yes it's less expensive and legal...": well, I meant the stuff that you can download separately from any hardware purchase, very widely advertised via spam, so your answer is ambiguous.

DGF200, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) software is less expensive then regular retail packages. The reason for that is they send it to you in a paper CD/DVD sleeve and there is no fancy box, packaging, retail stores or Documentation. Usually you can get documentation via a web site or White Page.

Many computer manfacturer use OEM software to lower costs of manfacturing and loading their systems, and those savings pass on to you. I have included a link to a web site that talks about OEM software and the fact that it's perfectly legal. Enjoy your less expensive software!

Is it legal to install an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of software on a computer other than the one on which the software came? OEM software is only distributed when sold with specified accompanying hardware. When these programs are copied and/or sold separately from the hardware, it is a violation of the license with the software publisher, and therefore illegal.

Be sure to also be careful of downloading software from the internet. ONLY go with companies you know.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
