I have 2 pcs I want to put windows 7 on. I cant get upgrade. If it doesnt work on more than one pc like windwos xp did when you activate over the phone. What is the cheapest way to get 2 pcs running on windwos 7.

Thanks

This. It's the only way to do it legally.

Wait, are you saying you were using the same key for two machines with XP? You should know that is not allowed.

Surely installing XP on 2 machines with the same CD key, activating one on the net and the other over the phone will cancel the first one out meaning its essentially an illegal copy that you can't update it??

It will.

I did hear that there was a certain Windows XP that you was allowed to run 2 copies from legally, but I am not sure if it's true or not.

But for W7, buy the copies seperate. Oh and tip, buy fast. OCUK can't keep the price this low for long!
