If I remember correctly, the OEM license is only valid/available if it's sold with hardware. People on eBay used to do this by selling it with a busted motherboard, or an old 386 CPU chip, or something else essentially worthless but within the definition of "hardware" according to the license. I don't know if that is still something people do, but it's something to check into anyway. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
