Easy vista question I suppose
I've tried some google searching for my answer but haven't found what I'm looking for. Basically I'm selling Windows Vista Business Express Upgrade (OEM) and from what I understand to install this, you would need a previous MSFT OS installed like win xp for example. I was wondering if you could install the upgrade on multiple systems or is there a feature that prevents this from happening, i.e. can only be installed once specific to the motherboard of first install?

Re: Easy vista question I suppose
The media is typically all the same (except with the basic restriction with upgrade vs. full media). All that matters is one OEM key per computer, though I think technically according to their EULA, OEM licenses are non-transferrable once it's been installed with a motherboard.
I think it's more of a licensing issue than a technical issue in your case. |

Re: Easy vista question I suppose
so if i understand right. he would be able to install the upgrade to multiple systems but might have problems if/when microsoft finds out the same key is installed to multiple systems. is this right?

Re: Easy vista question I suppose
If you use the same key on multiple systems without having a site license then yes, MS will get a little upset that you are stealing licenses from them. Vista pays more attention to that than XP did, but I'm not sure what they do when the find out.
