Not OEM, can use on as many computers as you want so long as you don't activate it :D Which you can't do.... so one I think

Are there any Windows 8 versions that are like a 3 pack, or something that you can have multiple computers activated?

Hope I could help!

do you have to order from newegg, because here is one from amazon which I am pretty sure is OEM (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I recall reading an article saying Microsoft was moving away from selling OEM/system builders and that there will only be the "full version". Some retailers have the OEM and other don't. I haven't tried using the any of the licenses so I don't know whether the article was correct.  

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

Or you can just call Microsoft each time to have it activated.  You just have to lie to Microsoft by telling them you only have the OS installed on one computer.  (Note: I can't say that I endorse this, but it will work.)  Do what you will with this info.

Desktop: Intel Core i7-6700K, ASUS Z170-A, ASUS STRIX GTX 1080 Ti, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB Samsund 840 Pro, Seasonic X series 650W PSU, Fractal Design Define R4, 2x5TB HDD

Hypervisor 1: Intel Xeon E5-2630L, ASRock EPC612D8, 16GB DDR4 ECC RAM, Intel RT3WB080 8-port RAID controller plus expansion card, Norco RPC-4020 case, 20x2TB WD Red HDD

Other spare hypervisors: Dell Poweredge 2950, HP Proliant DL380 G5

Laptops: ThinkPads, lots of ThinkPads

The specifications tab of the link says it's a retail Full version.

But can I use it at the same time as another one?

Hope I could help!
