MSDN Academic Alliance - licence question...

Conrad11 · 1 Jan 2010 at 12:49

Can I use the same licence key to install Windows 7 on more than one PC as I have 3 that I want to install it on. (1 server, 1 VM, 1 Laptop)? (It appears I only get one licence key

)

...or is the licence key only valid for one machine?

as far as I know its one license, one machine. BUT there should be a 32bit and 64bit version on MSDN:AA. Both versions have a different serial number but you can use the serial numbers on both 32bit and 64bit versions (i.e. you can use the 32bit serial number on the 64bit copy of win7 and vice versa), so technically you already have 2 licenses

That there is. Didn't realise the 32bit and 64bit keys were interchangeable.

yeah, definitely on 1 machine per MSDN:AA license. However, if you e-mail your course administrator (their info is on your MSDN:AA page) you should be able to get more.
