Re install WHS 2011 on another PC

Question
-
Currently own WHS 2011 DVD with valid license. I want to give it to someone to use but it was previously installed on a PC which I own but the PC will no longer boot. If this person tries to install it on his PC and enters the software key will it validate? ThanksSunday, December 30, 2018 11:39 PM
