Microsoft announced that the Windows Vista end-user license agreement will
be modified in order to include terms covering Windows Anytime Upgrade. The
new Windows Vista EULA will be made available tomorrow, and I will provide
you with an update on the matter.

But what will Microsoft change? Well, first off, let's go back in time to
2006. In the initial EULA Microsoft had released for Windows Vista, the
Redmond Company had drastically limited the transfer of the operating system
to other computers.

Much in the same way, currently, the Windows Vista EULA states: "Windows
Anytime Upgrade Software. The first user of the software may reassign the
license to another device one time, but only if the license terms of the
software you upgraded from allows reassignment."

If you agree to the EULA, and you have to agree in order to access the
operating system, you will only be able to transfer your copy of Vista to
another machine just one time. Well, this is exactly what Microsoft intends
to change.

Vista users that have acquired one of the following editions of the
operating system: Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium,
Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Home Basic N, and Windows Vista
Business N editions, and then upgraded to a more feature rich version via
Windows Anytime Upgrade will now be able to reassign the OS an unlimited
number of times.

"Microsoft is modifying the end user license agreement for full packaged
product versions of Windows Vista purchased through a retailer or from
Microsoft, and then upgraded using Windows Anytime Upgrade. Under the terms
of the modified license agreement, you are now granted the right to
uninstall Windows Vista and then reinstall the operating system on a
different computer. Provided you uninstall the operating system from your
original computing device and do not share the license among multiple
devices, you are no longer limited in the number of times that you may
reassign the license to different devices," Microsoft revealed.
