OEM Means Original Equipment Manufacturer. This means the product was sold to be bundled with a computer, and the computer company probably bought more than were needed, so sold some off. Without seeing the license you will not know if the software can be registered when purchased without a machine. However, I suspect that in the future it could be upgraded normally, since people who got theirs with a computer would be able to upgrade. The only problem is that some Warez (illegal software) dealers claim their stuff is OEM. Corel might be able to tell you if OEM versions can be registered.
