windows 7 - Office 2010 muti region OEM?


Buying a laptop from Germany, we use OEM licensing from the US (all above board, just the OEM loophole)


Are OEM licenses multi-region or will we have to buy a specific office product for use in Germany?


Thanks

Answer



OEM Licenses are indeed multi-region. Once you have purchased a license for the software, you can install it on any region/language version you like.


Tne only exception to this are home and student versions of some ms software can be region locked (see comment above) for the reason stated by Ramhound (discounted licenses are not available in every region where the software is sold).
