Additionally a retail copy - full or upgrade, but not an OEM version, can be transferred to a different computer if first removed from the computer on which it's installed.-- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] .

If you spread it out over time they may all go through online because [I think] there is still a 3 or 4 month reset. If by phone and you are careful what you say, you will get all of them activated over the phone.But it is a bit of a pain and some future technology rolled out might cross check or somesuch, plus its a violation of the EULA which is a potential problem if these are business machines in the USA. There's still a litle bit of the honour system left .. but do many out there have any honour?If you are a tinkerer and like to test systems, consider a Technet subscription. Gives you access to all the Microsoft operating systems [XP Pro 32bit/64bit, all versions of Vista, Server 2003 most or all versions, Betas for upcoming Server 2008, Office 2003,
Office 2007 and so on] for three hundred and something USD. The license is *for you only* and *not for production machines*, but it lets you test them out and so on indefinitely. MSDN subscription is similar,
microsoft office Professional Plus 2007 keygen, but moe development oriented in scope where you also get access to the various Visual Studio related softwares .. and the MSDN license subscription is pricier.Saucy . huwyngr wrote at: 2007-06-10 16:15:52 In article <up$BtexqHHA.4740@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl>, Jupiter Jones [MVP] wrote:> But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.Not quite true! <g> It can only be *activated* on one computer at a time!I ran an already activated copy of VISTA business for the 120 days resetable period while waiting for a purchased copy of VISTA Ultimate.I can think of a number of other ways in which this could be useful including re-installing onto a different computer and wanting to be sure that all was OK before cleaning off the older installation.The worst that would happen would be that one had to activate by telephone "I upgraded my computer"?.
