One per box. But that's only $1,999.99 for a family of five.

So you're saying if I buy the Ultimate Edition I can install it on 3
systems?
No, where did you get that? Only if you buy three copies. One install
per
license. The Family discount is buy one Ultimate - upgrade or full - and
get the right to buy up to two Home Premium copies for 49.99 each. Or buy
a
volume license which starts at five.

Paul-B said:I cannot buy a family discount Vista pack. That option is not open to
me (or to the rest of the world).
I didn't post any thing that was untrue. You are correct though, if you are
talking about the Family discount being available only in the US and Canada,
that I did not qualify it. But neither was I replying to you.
Hopefully they will change it, and open it up to more locales. AFAIK,
nothing has been said to indicate this can't happen.

One license per machine; one machine per license.
HOWEVER, if you buy a copy of Ultimate, you have the option of buying
one or two licenses for Home Premium for $50 each:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/familydiscount.mspx
So for $369 ($269 [Ultimate upgrade] + $50 + $50] you can get one
ultimate and two Home Premiums.
[I think that there may be a requirement that the home premium copies
not be used in a business environment]

I purchased Windows Vista Ultimate Full and somewhere in all the
documentation it was indicated that the license was for three computers. Now
that I´m looking for it I can´t find it but I do remember seeing it and
several salespeople in different stores told me the same thing (without me
asking).

You have been slightly mis-informed.
Windows Vista Ultimate (full retail) is licensed for use on ONE PC
However there is an offer that allows you to purchase TWO additional Windows
Vista Home Premium licenses for use on two other PCs in your home.

I don't doubt you, but why, then, does it use the phrase "licensed for
three..."

Where is "licensed for three..." used ?
Can you provide the entire quote or at least point to the documentation
where this is used.

Are you sure you didn't see the Office package? That can be installed
on 3 computers.

Correction.......Office can only be installed on one PC with the
exception if and only if it is a full retail version then you can
install it on one portable device for your own use.
I had previously read an article (non-microsoft) that stated it can be
on up to 3 systems.
sorry for the confusion.

The student and teachers editions can be installed on three PCs so you
did see that.

Unfortunately, I can't remember where I saw it; if I find it, I'll let you
know. My time has been consumed with trying to get Vista to stop forgetting
my home network (let's leave that for another thread). I don't know if it
makes a difference but the version I have is in Brazilian Portuguese.
I noted a lot of people have been adamant about the one purchase, one
license as if it was written in stone in ancient times. In the past, software
use was not as restricted as it is today (MS software included). Even today
one can purchase software that is licensed for use on more than one computer.
It is not unreasonable for people to ask about it. The uninformed (I'm not
talking about you Mike) should not jump down the throats of the curious.
Lighten up folks.

I forgot mention: Just for the record, I am using one computer with Windows
XP, one with Vista Home Premium and the newest with Vista Ultimate. I
wouldn't recommend anybody try hustling MS with illegal copies; it isn't
worth the trouble.
