QUESTION: What are software applications that are referred to as Computer Programmers versions.

ANSWER: Computer programmer versions are also known as OEM which stands for "original equipment manufacturer". These software versions refer to software that is sold to computer builders etc in large quantities, for the purpose of bundling with computer hardware. This bundled software is a version of a program that is also sold on its own as a stand alone product. In most instances these versions cannot be updated and do not have the support of the manufacturer as they are not retail licensed applications however they are unlimited and fully functional versions of the retail licensed version which is sold at greatly discounted prices because the computer programmer sells in large quantities and passes the savings on to the buyer.
