Re: Vista license ok for 3 pc's ?

I think we've been down this rocky road a few times already this year... and it always gets ugly :) .. Legally/ethically it is one Licensed copy per computer unless you get the family discount which is only for the full retail versions and for the upgraded versions..

Since I haven't read the Vista licensing verbage, does anyone know if
I purchase Vista (perhaps Ultimate, not sure) is it legal to install
it to 3 pc's (I seem to recall Tom S. said it was but any confirmation
on this) ? Is this typical for any Vista pkg (Ultimate, business,
home) or what do I need to look for?


The "Vista Family Discount" can be found here:

Enjoy the verbiage.
