As soon as i discovered the burglary, I reported it to the police. In other words, if I install software on the replacement for a stolen computer, do I get a free install or do I need to purchase an additional license?Įarly on the morning of May 29, burglars broke into my house and stole several items of high-end electronic equipment, including my latest desktop PC.
If legal, would a re-install of existing software trigger audits by firms such as Microsoft? Is it legal to re-install software that I have valid licenses for on the computer that I bought to replace a computer that was stolen during a burglary?
