Re: CAN I INSTALL AND REGISTER

Windows Vista is licensed for one computer installation only.
In order to install and activate a second installation,
you'll need to purchase a second Windows Vista license.

One license (Product Key) per installation so the answer to your
question is "no". You will need to purchase two licenses of Vista.

The rule is quite clear. It's one copy (or one license) for each
computer.

There's nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that's been in
effect on every version of Windows starting with Windows 3.1. The only
thing new, starting with Windows XP, is that there's now an
enforcement mechanism.
