nero 6.6 oem suite
saw an ad for Nero 6.6 OEM suite that looks too good to pass up.....
so, what's the downside of buying a OEM version? (aside from no documentation, except on the cd) Thanks, Bill |

Just the fact that it will likely work with only one brand of drive. It will
also be missing a few particular features, like multiple drive burning and maybe MP3 encoding.

OEM software cannot be sold legally unless accompanied by the drive it is
intended to partner - and then it should be provided at no extra charge. There is no difference between the Nero software on the OEM discs and the Retail discs (though occasionally special releases have been made for particular writers - some past TEAC writers being a case in point) What is different is the serial number encoded into the OEM disc that will restrict it to the writer it was intended to partner. You will therefore either have to use a stolen software key or buy a key from Nero. In the case of the former, if you are going to steal the product anyway you might as well download it from Nero. -- Graham Mayor bill wrote: saw an ad for Nero 6.6 OEM suite that looks too good to pass up..... so, what's the downside of buying a OEM version?

(aside from no documentation, except on the cd) Thanks, Bill If it's a real OEM version, there's a chance it won't work with your drive. The OEM versions are typically tied to specific brands and sometimes even models of drives. If you don't have that identical model it was intended for, you may end up buying yourself a coaster or X-mas tree ornament. I used to see "general OEM" (ie. not drive specific) versions of Nero for sale at computer shows, but I've since been told that those are likely counterfeit. The downside, is that if it's not a legal version, the key you're supplied with might have been blacklisted by Ahead. If that's the case, then if you update it, the update will disable Nero until a valid key is entered. I don't know if there actually are legit versions of OEM Nero that aren't drive specific. --------------------------------------------- MCheu |

I have both retail ultra version and OEM suite3 version. The are some
differences, but you will not notice them uless you are a power user. Both are using the same updates from www.ahead.de and I had no problems to upgrade them to the Nero 6.6.0.8 from 6.0.0.2, which is the version on the OEM suite 3 disk. Each OEM disk should come with a different activation key number. I like the OEM suite 3 so much that I bought more for my relatives so they can install on their Dell and HP. No one has any problems of using the OEM version to burn CD or DVD. Of course, you have to get the OEM Suite 3. The OEM Suite 1 is the one usually come with burners and only come with limited funcationality and maybe drive specific. The difference of price between suite 1 and suite 3 is around $4 to $5, but it is still much cheaper than the retail ultra version.

I am not so sure there is no difference. My Nero OEM that came with my Sony DVD burner did not have the ability to cross fade tracks. That was only available on the retail version. There were other differences as well but can not recall them at the present time. |

You are correct, there are a number of features left out of OEM versions. It
varies a bit with different versions of Nero. Swami-BillEastCoast wrote in message ...

Not necessarily - some features are only available if the appropriate serial
is employed. Eg in the OEM version supplied with my DVD player, the OEM serial provides only the Express interface, but the full system is on the disc and using the full serial it is all revealed. -- Graham Mayor Dan G wrote: You are correct, there are a number of features left out of OEM versions.

Both came with serial numbers (or keys, if you will) *not* embedded in the product, but supplied with the product for me to enter during installation. Both have worked flawlessly with all the different drives I have used since I purchased the two Nero versions and all version upgrades offered by Nero have installed successfully (so, no key blacklisting). I'm not sure what these products I have are really called, but they continue to work and Nero appears to have no objections. To the OP (if you're still reading this thread). I think caution is in order. At least contact the vendor and get a clear statement that what is being offered will work with any/all drives on the Nero compatibility list, and is not limited to one drive make or model. |
