It's a legal response, you cannot expect Parallels to officially (Parallels staff replying to a forum is official) endorse something that is somewhat 'not obvious' in license terms.
There's OEM and there's OEI DSP OEM, there's OEM Windows license that come with a computer and thus are not, legally, transferable to another computer even if you no longer use it on the computer it came from.
And there's OEI DSP OEM that you buy to put on a computer and when you put it on a computer you can't transfer it to another computer, now, imagine that computer is a Mac, the same thing applies, you bought it to put it on your mac and that's legal, you can't transfer it to another computer thou.
The 'Get Genuine' campaign for Windows XP licenses , are OEI DSP OEM licenses.
