OEM unbundling
Last modified: Friday, April 25, 2008
Often called OEM piracy or just unbundling, OEM unbundling is a
type of software piracy that occurs when
OEM-packaged software is
separated from the hardware it originally came bundled with, at the OEM or
retail level of sale. The software is clearly marked, usually with the phrase
"For Distribution with New PC Hardware Only", and the act of piracy occurs when
the software is installed on another computer system.
