I've always found OEM software has serial numbers attached. All OEM means is that it was sold with a PC.

My OEM copy of XP has a serial anyway.

Part of getting OEM software is the implicit licence to use said software. If you need to reinstall it for whatever reason, then you have a valid licence key that is yours to use.
