1 license 1 product key per computer. You can use the same disk to upgrade
any computer, but to "Activate" windows, there must be a seperate license and
product key.
After you purchase the license @358.00+tax, email comes the product key
information. PRINT this email and save it with your life. Why you ask?,
because 30 days after your purchase, that link is no longer active and the
software people can not, repeat, can not retrive the product key. No product
key, no Windows Activation and the system won't fuction.
Your next move is sadly re-purchasing a new license and product key.

That is 30 days longer access to the key than if you permanently lose your
full retail package on the day of purchase. I agree that the full retail
package is harder to lose/misplace than an email.
