Another OS Usage Law Question

[Harper]

Can you just have the CD's for Windows and still be legit?
Like I have been trying to offically set up my second PC now that my house mate's freinds from Gemany don't need it any more. But since I have moved, I have lost the paper work for :-
1. Windows 2000 Upgrade
2. Windows 98 SE

I remember calling MS years ago about Windows 98 once as a freind did loose his CD, but not his paper work for windows 98. Luck for him, me makes back ups of everything.

But does it work the otherway around. I have my LEGIT CDs, but I don't have the paper work?

Lucky for me, I did write the OEM number on the actual disk.

I'm pretty sure that as long as you have the OEM you should be fine.

You will be fine if using those keys for the cd's. You just cant sell them with a systme or by them selves

I'm not sure I understand...You have the MS CD's and codes/key but have lost the paper work? Are you planning on selling a system to a user with these CD's but no paperwork? If thats the case..then your in violation of the Windows ULA.

No. It's called it MY Cds, My Computers, and I have moved house 2 times in the last 2 years, and during this time the paper work has been lost.

I have no plans to sell this computer to any one.
