Hi all.

I'll buy Vista tomorrow, but before i'd like to know if i could install
Vista at all my Pc's without buying new cd-key for all of them. I mean, how
many times can i install/reinstall Vista?

Thanks!

Re: install on 2 PC's?

You can install Vista on only one computer with one license............you
can reinstall it to that same computer as often as you feel
like.........................
2 computers................2 Vista licenses................

One install per key. If you have two computers that you want to run Vista,
you would need 2 keys.

As others have said, it's the same with Vista as with previous MS OS's. One
license per computer. Why would you think it was any different? If you are
in the US or Canada there is a Family Discount. Buy one retail boxed copy
of Vista Ultimate, either full or upgrade and you can purchase up to two
more copies of Vista Home Premium for $49.99 (USD) or $59.99 (CAD). This is
only good until 6/1/07.

Volume Licensing begins at five copies.

In addition to others, Microsoft is offering a 10% discount for additional
licenses if you want the same product.
