win7 student license and computer update

Hello habralyudi! I use the license of the seven, obtained in my student years. I'm about to upgrade my computer, and I remembered that I read that student licenses are "bound to hardware." Accordingly, several questions arose:

  • Is the license really "attached to the hardware"?
  • If "attached", can I "attach" it to the new hardware, given that I have already graduated from the institute?
  • If I can, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

If the student license means MSDN Academic Alliance, then there is no hardware binding, moreover, it is installed on any number of computers / virtual machines for non-commercial purposes owned by the student.

According to my data, the license within MSDN AA is activated maximum 2 times.
Activating the system while you are not a student will automatically invalidate the license.
Under the MSDN AA license, student-installed products can continue to be used on these computers WITHOUT the right to reinstall, which is the case in your case.
If you activated the system only once, then the second activation will probably pass, but this will not legally be a legal version.
