| | Licensing Windows 7 in VM Environments There exists a document entitled: "Licensing Windows Vista for Use with Virtual Machine Technologies" that can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/a...ng-briefs.aspx. This stipulates that a Vista license can be used up to 4 times in VM's (as below) for particular versions of Vista (Enterpise, Ultimate with SA). Is there a similar document for Windows 7? If not, is anyone aware of the licensing terms? Also, we only require licenses for 10 workstations so we are not a volume customer - how can I obtain licenses to install multiple (4) VM's on just one of my machines or must I purchase 4 extra Windows 7 Pro licenses? Thx, Kim. · You may run on the licensed device at any one time one copy, or instance, of the software directly on the hardware (the physical operating system environment) and up to four instances of the software in virtual machines. You may create and store an unlimited number of copies (for example, copies in VMs) for use on any licensed device. |

My guess is that you will need four Win 7 licenses. |
