Forgot to deactivate old computer's product key before transferring the product key to another computer

The old device is not in use by anybody and unfortunately the edu product key is still installed on it, and the device is not with me.

Is there any way that can remotely transfer the product key to my new computer without accessing the old computer?

 

Can I Transfer an OEM Product Key to New PC?


I built a new PC and want to install windows 8.1. For this I need to buy a product key. I was told that OEM product keys are "married" to the motherboard for life.

But lets say I install win 8.1 and use an OEM product key yo activate it. And lets say in the future I get rid of the old motherboard and install a new motherboard. Will I be able to transfer the product key to the new motherboard? Or would I need a retail product key to transfer the key to a new PC or motherboard?
