      I have been asked is it activated with a digital licence.

      Is there another such licence, if so what’s the difference.

      Cheers

        When you activate Windows for the first time a digital license is created based on your mobo, cpu and some other hardware bits and bobs. This means that Windows is digitally licensed on this, and only this machine. If you change too many bits then you have to go back to M$ via telephone and get your machine reactivated.

          Thanks Ed

          I understand now, it was aquestion from a potential bidder. I found it a strange question?

          Cheers
