| Vista Ultimate x64 | Vista licensing question So I just upgraded from Windows XP to Vista x64. Since I got the retail packaged upgrade, I have both the x64 and x32 DVDs. I think I know the answer already, but, I take it that licensing would not allow me to activate both the x32 and x64 versions on the same PC, or seperate PCs for that matter? Thanks for humoring me! |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Vista licensing question Is it safe to assume that I couldn't run a 2nd instance of Vista (either version) on Microsoft Virtual Machine 2007 either? Thanks for the quick reply! |

| Vista Ultimate SP2/Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Vista licensing question There's nothing stopping anyone from installing the same licensed version on the same machine twice. I've been doing that for years with both XP and now Vista. I have one for my main stuff and one for testing. I've never had any activation problems. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Vista licensing question My understanding is that the OP referenced to "RUNNING" them both at same time with only one lisence. Assuming one was going to be in a VM, if the VM was running, 2 lisences's would be required, one for the host OS and one for the guest OS |
