Office and Home Installation

[Guest]

Will one copy of Vista Business install on both an office computer and a home
computer as XP was able to do? the implication being only one of the two will
be in operation at any one time.

Hi GW--

XP wasn't able to do it "legally". For XP and Vista it's one OS per one box
period. You may be confusing doing this with the OS with Office which did
and still does allow this through Office 2007 and its 27 related
applications.

================================
One copy per machine.

Here's a link to a .pdf copy of the
EULA if you would like to read it:

Nope. One copy per machine. It was the same way with Windows XP and the many
versions before that.

To be fully compliant with the EULA, anyway. A lot of people just installed
it on as many machines as they had. So 1 copy was on 10 different machines.
Not legal by the EULA, but it worked. Now, activation helps keep the
consumer in check. The pirates are the ones that can easily get around that,
though...
