  3. In a few months Norton 360 renew, changing to just Anti-Virus

  4. Transfer license from an old machine to a new Build.

    Microsoft used to differentiate between VMs and physical computers. I don't think they do any longer. And yes, it is like getting a new license for free. Microsoft is very clearly more interested in dominating the OS market than they are about individual piracy. The higher their market share...
