I've never heard of that. It may work. I've
never tried it. But I do know that OEM is not
licensed for that.



Generic OEM will work. Branded OEM will not. Neither is "allowed" by
the license you don't get to read until it's too late for a refund if
you don't agree with it.

If that's really true, it would fall foul of the UK's "Unfair contract
terms" legislation.
