Advice needed on selling Microsoft Software

I have some retail boxed versions of Microsoft software that as far as I know (but cant be 100% sure) has only been installed once.

I understand that I can legally sell it but was wandering if there are any implications with regard to how many times it may of been activated in the past.

Anyone in the know?

I have:
2 X Vista Business 32 bit
2 X Vista Ultimate 64 & 32 bit
2 X Web Server 2008 64 & 32 bit
1 X Vista Home Premium 32 bit
1 X Vista Home Basic 32 bit


I also have a SQL Server 2008 Developer License no media though.

Cheers

Perhaps you can call Microsoft and speak to one of the representatives/tech support about it. They might be able to tell you.

Yeah, might aswell get the info staight from the horses mouth as we say.

if it's been activated too many timnes, you'll have to call MS to activate it. Your experience may vary, and I've only had to do this once, but when I did, it was just a phone robot asking me to tell it my unique installation ID, and then it asked how many computers I'd installed it on. It was just a major hardware upgrade, same computer, so obviously I said one. The nice robot lady read back the activation code and it activated.

OEM licenses are non-transferrable.

Spoke to Microsoft today...very painfull, fruitless conversation with moronic robots.

They just basicaly said you cannot re-sell any Microsoft operating system regardless of OEM or Retail.

Their own EULA contradicts this, but I can be asked to argue with them...I will let eBay decide

Cheers guys.
