iirc that's technically not allowed because MS does not let you transfer licenses to another machine, since sometime around XP days.

(And I don't have any kicking around anyway.)

Which is why, of course we all like GPL etc.

There is the monthly option if you sign up for SPLA but it's likely not worth it for just 1 machine since the minimum is around $150/month. But then you could get other licenses for other things too.

a guy I know is looking to run a windows server licence for some specific software vertical he is looking at ... (i asked - they dont have a linux port)

the company (no idea who it is) claims the software works best on server licence as it utilizes

the hardware better ...

he's looking at trying to save money on the licence, so does anyone have 2016 or 2008 server licences on dead machines that can be repurposed? 

wondering if the likes of MER may as well....

thanks.
