Nope to either. Clones don't work with different hardware. Dell keys are serialized to only work with dells.

They are? Never worked with Dell but I'm not surprised though. Thought they used OEM software like everyone else. Legally the answer would be the same though, you're not allowed to move an OEM license to a new computer, be it a server or workstation it doesn't matter.

Good to know, thanks!
