Question

Abbreviations what is OEM stand for? ?

Answer 1

OEM Hardware

This is the term given to a manufacturer that buys, for instance, video graphics chips and implements them in their own design.

OEM Software

When in the context of software it means that the software is sold only with a certain piece of hardware and/or the software manufacturer provides no technical support.

You will also find that OEM software usually doesn't come with a manual (or a box), if it's software you are experienced in using then having no manual won't be a problem, although most OEM software does still come with the built-in help system.

The price difference between OEM software and full retail software can be huge, so if having no box, no manual and no technical support is not a problem then it can be a bargain.

note: some OEM software is a cutdown version of its retail counterpart, always make sure the software has the features you need.

Answer 7

Original equipment manufacturer

Most often you'll see the abbreviation used with software:

"Beside referring to manufacturers, OEM can be used as an adjective to describe software licensed only for a particular system. OEM software is purchased alongside a system or hardware parts. Certain OEM programs have limited functionality, but most do not. OEM software is often cheaper than the full versions but not as cheap as academic or student editions.

OEM hardware is hardware packaged for computer administrator and builder use. These products are normally plain boxed and often don't come with any instructions or references provided in retail packages."
