    what do you think buying an OEM version of NIS2009? The price is almost half of the retail price.

    It'll effectively tie the software to your one computer - OEM - original equipment manufacturer - and the license is not transferable.

    I.e. you can't migrate the license to a different computer.

    Go for it if you don't plan on changing computers within a year.
