We hear the letters OEM a lot these days, as people often ask me if they can use an OEM version of software on machines other than the one it shipped with. Usually, they are asking about whether they can scavenge Windows and MacOS disks, and the answer is always no.
When Microsoft and Apple include copies of their operating systems with new computers, they are meant to be used only with those computers, and no other. In fact, when you load the software, and click the YES button saying that you agree to their terms of service, you are agreeing not to use the operating system software on any other computer than the one the disk shipped with.
This also applies to any of the extra disks of software that come with the machine: photo applications, versions of Office, games, utilities and anything else that comes in the box. Those versions of the software are called OEM versions, because they ship with the Original Equipment from the Manufacturer.
OEM also is applied to companies that take computers from other manufacturers in large quantities and customize them to resell. You'd think that the company that actually manufactures the computers in the first place would be the OEM, but that's not the case.

Product Description
As tools for tuning modern engines have become more powerful and sophisticated in recent years, the need for in-depth knowledge of engine management systems and tuning techniques has grown. Tuning engines can be a mysterious art, all engines need a precise balance of fuel, air, and timing in order to reach their true performance potential. This book explains how the EFI system determines engine operation and how the calibrator can change the controlling parameters to optimize actual engine performance. Engine Management: Advanced Tuning takes engine-tuning techniques to the next level. It is a must-have for tuners and calibrators and a valuable resource for anyone who wants to make horsepower with a fuel-injected, electronically controlled engine. Author Greg Banish is a calibration engineer with extensive aftermarket performance calibration experience. He has a BSME from GMI Engineering and Management Institute (Kettering University). With over a thousand unique calibrations performed over five years, he has worked with enthusiasts and OEMs alike to improve the performance and driving behavior of a wide range of vehicles. The book contains detailed equations, graphs, and illustrations. Also included are valuable and practical examples, including real-world examples based upon the author?s experience that will help more advanced readers apply this new information to situations that are commonly seen during calibration.
