I've read that these cheap OEM licenses could be cancelled after some time. Dunno if true or not. Could you give a link for EU courts' rulings?

- mrweasel 5y agoI believe it’s this ruling in a case involving Oracle: https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?docid=124564&doclang=EN https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?docid=12... The ruling was appeal and a 2016 ruling in a higher court just confirmed that you can in fact resell software licenses.
- bobiny 5y agoBut isn't it a different license like consumer vs business? I mean when OEMs are used for pre-built PCs or when it's activated by end user.
- numpad0 5y agoI know of a case where payment got cancelled: eBay found the seller fraudulent and refunded either out of pocket or from insurance, probably the latter. That said, sometimes the licenses can indeed get cancelled. I’ve seen a really sketchy looking photocopied label that a guy “got” that didn’t work. Depends on the channel perhaps.
