That's not my understanding or what I've been told when I've asked about
licensing, which includes OEM . Do you have a link to content that explains
this?

Hi Beth,
Actually, you can use an OEM edition CD as the qualifying product to
install a retail edition upgrade. Outside of the U.S. there
are some issues that would make precluding that a problem, so the OEM
products are accepted as upgrade qualifiers when installing
Office on another machine.

You can't use an OEM version of Office as a qualifying product on another
computer. You noted, an OEM version is tied to the computer it is
installed
on and the license cannot be transferred to another computer. The original
version and upgrade are considered a single product and cannot be
separated.
So if the OEM license is dead it can't be used at all.
