Ok ive looked around and nothing seems to of made things clear on this, is this exactly the same as buying an OEM when you are building a new computer yourself?

Do you have to have something registered?

If you were to wipe the hardrive you installed it on, would you be able to reinstall this back again for a clean install?

Thankyou for any help!

What is the difference between OEM and DSP software?

The software in both OEM versions and DSP versions is the same. OEM software normally has the hardware manufacturer’s name, such as Dell or Sony, printed on the manual and license. DSP software, however, has NO manufacturer’s name stamped on the manual or printed on the license. DSP versions usually just say “OEM.” Basically, DSP is a more generic packaging of an OEM product that is sold to smaller system builders who do not qualify for larger volume discounts and custom printing on their software.
