Was the software preinstalled when you got it from the dealer? If so,
then it's most likely OEM software (original equipment
manufacturer)...which means that the license is WITH the computer. So
when the PC dies, so does your license.

If you purchases it as boxes software and installed it, you own the
license so you can uninstall from the old and reinstall to the new.

However, when it doubt...read the license.
