Do PCW do OEM?

Thought they only sold Upgrades or Full Retail copies

did it deactivate itself with a message saying something about a hardware change?
if so what is your system setup i had to re-activate my vista like 7 times due to this bug with a sata raid driver before i got it working properly and even then it did it again for no reason at all..

ive reactivated my OEM version of Vista Ultimate twice now, no problem. Once because it suddenly de-activated itself and i needed to phone Micro$oft, and once after a motherboard upgrade - i didnt even have to speak to anyone that time, it was all done over the automated phone message. I think MS have given up with the limitation of the OEM version!?
