I buy Windows Vista Premiun Home, I install it, then, my sister take it to
install it to his Computer, but now, passing 3 days, i have something wrong
from the license.
There are askin me to put another serial number, but.. Windows vista is only
for 1 PC ? (Damn, really i start to hate Bill Gates. )

I will have problemas on my PC for that "Serial" problem ?

I dunno what should i do, the Windows vista cost A LOT.
 
Yes, Vista is one license per install. If you want it on 2 PC's, you need
two licenses. No getting around that legally.

You can always put a legal version of XP back on there. If you can't afford
to buy it, you don't have to. XP works just fine.

How many PC's do you think you should be able to load it on?
10, 100, 1000 100 million?

Your sister installed it on his computer? Uh, OK. Yeah, no... Vista = one
license, one PC. If that's an issue, and, apparently it is, then feel free
to try one of the numerous Linux distributions available. Ubuntu. SUSE.
Whatever. Free for as many PC's as you need. Good luck.

You must be very young and/or very naive.
I do not want to think that you are that dumb :-))

You need to purchase a separate Vista license for each computer on
which you install it.

Just as it has *always* been with *all* Microsoft operating
systems, it's necessary (to be in compliance with both the EULA and U.S.
copyright law http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/117.html), if not
technically) to purchase one Vista license for each computer on which it
is installed. (Consult an attorney versed in copyright law to determine
final applicability in your locale.) The only way in which Vista
licensing differs from that of earlier versions of Windows (up until
WinXP, that is) is that Microsoft has added a copy protection and
anti-theft mechanism, Product Activation, to prevent (or at least make
more difficult) multiple installations using a single license.

If Bruce can make such absolute sweeping declarations about law, he must
be a lawyer or judge. IANAL!

Most recent idiotic quote added to KICK (Klassic Idiotic Caption Kooks):
"It would be nice if there was a check to see if you were running an
activated/validated version of Windows before you were allowed to post
in any
of these news groups. If you're not activated/validated your post
automatically gets deleted.
That would get rid of the Linsux Luzzzzzzzzers once and for all."
