    Does the old Window 8 license still useful today?


    I buy a Window 8 license online when it is firstly released and MS greatly promote it. Originally plan to use it to upgrade an old laptop. The laptop was broken so the license is not used yet, Is it possible to reuse this license to install in some product such as Virtual Box?

    :)

    4 Million Windows 8 Licenses Sold: Ballmer

    It does say "4 Million Windows 8 Licenses Sold" not "4 Million Individual Windows 8 Licenses Sold". Just because a company like Dell or HP uses volume licenses instead of single system licenses doesn't mean that it isn't included in that number.
