1 Copy Of Vista On 2 PC's

What would happen if i used the same copy of Vista (in otherwords the same License key) on 2 seperate PC's ? Would it kick up a fuss and 1 would stop working etc ?

You would break the license agreement and burn in hellfire forever more

it would say the licence key is already in use, plus its illegal

its illegel and u will be breaking law

What if i uninstalled it from the original PC and put it on another then, all legal then ?

A kitten would die.

Nothing would happen if you did not activate on the second PC. You'd just have to reinstall every 30 ( or possibly 120 ) days.

In the case of my install, 3 days according to the activation time left thing when I installed it today. Activated it today anyway as I have a legit key so it's fine. I was surprised it was only 3 days, not the normal 30.

It's not legal, so don't discuss it here.

That sounds like automatic activation. You must have missed the check box during the install.
