According to the EULA, no, you can't:
"Installation and Use. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
EULA, you may install, use, access, display and run only one (1) copy of
the SOFTWARE on the COMPUTER."
In the scenario you describe, you'd have at least two copies installed
*and* running simultaneously.
Note : This not an attempt to bash MS. Just my idiosyncrasies.
Two programs have been giving me an annoying number of problems
and I have been thinking of experimenting and running them in isolation,
i.e. Virtual Machines, hoping that this isolation may eliminate
interaction with other programs and possibly minimise the problems.
The two programs that I consider to be problem ones are Outlook
Express and the little program that analyses the data from my diabetic
glucose meter.
Therefore, if I wanted to run these two programs in their own separate
Virtual Machines, MS would expect me to buy two more copies of
XP. So it would seem a better choice to get Linux to use as Virtual
Machines - I have been wanting to play with Linux for a while.
I have just put Thunderbird on my computer to have as a standby
for the next time Outlook Express falls over. When Outlook Express
fell over last time I couldn't get on to any of these MS NewsGroups
to ask for a solution.
TIA,
Nev.
