Windows 8 License Question
Posted: 2013-01-21 02:55pm
So what exactly is the deal with Windows 8 System Builder Personal Use License? My understanding is that this replaces the old retail license, and unlike the normal OEM license isn't bound to my motherboard, as long as I'm using it for personal use. What I can't seem to find out is are we supposed to agree to this before we install the OS, during, or after? It's been my experience that accepting the license is usually done very early in the install process with Windows and I don't want to agree to the wrong version of the System Builder License. Is there somekind of prompt in the installer for which version of the license we want to use, as the two seem to be distinct licenses not one license with different clauses depending on the user? I'm looking at grabbing a copy while they're still $140 and I can't seem to find this out. There only seems to be confusion regarding what the Windows 8 PULSB is, not how to make use of it.
