Used Windows Licenses?

by javpub . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hi

I’m looking for some information regarding Windows licenses.

– Is it allowed to transfer ownership of activated Windows licenses. For example, is it allowed to buy a used Windows Vista package and install it in another PC? Will Microsoft allow updating this system?

– If a Windows Vista Home license is bought, does microsoft allow using older versions of the operating System. For example, running a copy of Windows XP? In this case, would MS allow online patching of this older copy of windows xp ?

Thanks
