| 878307 | 2010-04-20 03:51:00 | Hi Guys I have 2 desktops and one laptop. I am trying to network them all. I have just bought Windows 7 Home Premium and installed it on my newest desktop. I like it so far. What is the legal position about getting 7 on the other 2 machines ? I heard that in the States you could install it on up to 2 machines for a home network. It would make things so much easier. |

| 878308 | 2010-04-20 03:53:00 | You could probably install it. Activating it is another matter. It applies to Win7 and any other version of windows. 1 install per PC | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 878309 | 2010-04-20 05:16:00 | It all depends on where you want to stand, legally. If the license says it's for one PC, then it's for one PC. Activating it on two machines will flag the license @ Microsoft and could potentially get you in trouble. (Considering what you agreed to when you agreed with the initial start-up license and/or buying it) |

| 878311 | 2010-04-20 21:17:00 | Thanks guys - just what I thought - damn ! Nmercer - Family pack is great news ! (too late for me though !) what I need to buy is a Couple Pack, that is two users, as I already have Home Premium ! Or I could sell my Home Premium and buy a Family Pack ! Or I could write to Microsoft and ask them to give me a discounted Family Pack ! (fat chance) |
