Nope, Microsoft don't allow this. You can transfer the Full (i.e. not Upgrade) Retail Boxed copies of Microsoft software but not OEM, or upgrades when they've been used to upgrade OEM copies of software (in Microsoft's view they are then extensions of the OEM license).
There's some official info from Microsoft here: http://tinyurl.com/4jdx4kx ...and some info on downgrade rights... http://tinyurl.com/23vnuy4 ...and a Microsoft blog entry about licensing... http://tinyurl.com/4toxq9x Rob(Who is registered as a Microsoft system builder for my sins, and have extensively looked into this to try and save a company £27k!)
