| 167690 | 2003-08-14 06:39:00 | Each computer needs it's own copy of Windows, and it's own copy of Nortons. You cannot use one copy of windows on more than one computer. | somebody (208) | ||
| 167691 | 2003-08-14 06:45:00 | Yes Each copy of Windows XP is "activated" based on a code generated by your PC hardware. Each installation requires its own licence. What you are asking could be applied to cars as an analogy. If you own 2 cars, do you have to register each with its own set of plates, or do you swap the number plates over and drive one at a time? Technically Nortons is the same, but as far as I know it doesnt register itself against the individual PC. So while its possible to run multiple instances, you need to consider if its permitted under the licence. :) |
