Default Can the beta be installed on my the one computer?


Can I installed the Beta on more than one of my systems using the same
key or do I need to request another key?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom;
You will need to check your specific EULA.
I suspect you are limited to one computer.
The Technical Beta testers, TechNet and MSDN subscribers have different
EULAs.

Actually normally it's OK - I think you can install as many times as you
like... but you can't use it in a production environment.. but you'll deffo
have to look at the EULA with your contract. It totally depends whether
you've paid an MSDN or TechNet subscription or not I believe.

I believe Tom said he has Vista through the Friends and Family program
(he got invited by an MVP), so might be slightly different again from
the MSDN/TechNet EULA.

I think the MSDN release build is limited to 10 installs per key, technical
testers are allowed up to 30 installs per key.

Zack;
You missed the OPs source listed in the other thread.
It is not the Technical Beta, MSDN or TechNet.
None of the above EULAs may apply to the Friends and Family program the OP
received Vista.

The Friends & Family are also actually entitled to more direct Microsoft
support than any of the above programs.
That is why I suspect 1 computer.
