Windows Vista, Multiple licenses?

Pulsedriver · 21 Jan 2007 at 19:19

Hi folks,

I'll be purchasing Vista in a few weeks, however...

I have a few questions,

I take it 'Ultimate' is the top one?

I would most likely get the 64bit version as my CPU etc matches it.

However;

We have 3 computers in the house, do I only get to install it on one machine?

I don't mind buying the more expensive versions if it means I can use on 3 comps? (In the same household).

Or is there no solution?

Thanks,

Sean

You would need 3 licenses for 3 machines, just like every other version of windows.

Yer its a shame and damn expensive.

I think only OSX gives out like a 5 pc liscence for £100 or something. Correct me if I am wrong.

Linux encourages you to install it on as many machines as you can...for free

It's a bit more than that, but than again, most of the price of the software is covered by the cost of the hardware.

Last time I checked Windows wasn't Linux.
