As a beta tester, I received a RTM version of Vista last Nov. It was my
understanding that this product and key would be good for up to four
activiations of the product. I have not actually tried just installing and
clicking on Activiate for the second system, but I am ready to try.

First, is this information accurate and second, is it as simple as this?

If you mean 4 installations on separate systems, this is not correct. The
Connect version that was given to qualified beta testers is a single user
license.
 
Although you an use the extended grace period to run it for up to 120
days without activating -- very useful for testing before committing.

No it isn't accurate. What you received was a retail license for the
Ultimate version. It can be installed and activated as many times a you
want, but it can only be installed on one device at a time. You can't do
multiple installs on different hardware with that one license. It's no
different than purchasing a retail full copy of Vista Ultimate. If it's
uninstalled from the device it's currently on, it can be
reinstalled/reactivated on another device. Read the license, EULA, for
yourself for all the details.
