At one time I had a Symantec info link to detailed instructions as to how to use RA to recover to another computer. Could someone point me to that please.
The computer I will be recovering from is an OEM version of 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. MB is getting dicey and I want to migrate (RA) to a completely new machine. I was wondering if I'll be able to do a phone activation of this OEM Windows after the recovery. I know OEM versions are only for the hardware they were distributed on, but I wonder if MS makes an exception in the case of a system failure. Obviously, if I can't get it activated, I can't do an RA and I'll have to build the new machine back from scratch.
Thanks for the help!

SSR and the RA Option cannot bypass licensing and you may need to contact microsoft for assistance.

I understand that SSR and RA cannot bypass licensing. Just curious if anyone has had any experience getting phone activation of OEM version of Windows 7 on other than the original hardware.
