    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? Thanks

    hi,
    yes, if your own pc which is installed WHS 2011 not boot, you can install WHS 2011 in another pc and activate it . If he can not activate he can try to contact Microsoft Licensing Activation Centers.

    Note: WHS 2011 is     end of life in April 2016 ,he need 3rd party security software to protect this system .
