Buying a Product Key

[alexma]

I have an Update Win 7 pack. I have used the 64 bit disc, and Prod. Key. Now I want to use the 'other' disc (32 bit) on a different PC, so will need to buy another Key. Is this the way to go, or will it be better/easier to just purchase another Win 7 'Upgrade'? If so, how do I go about getting another key? Alexma.

You will have to buy another product..  so you will have to re-buy win-7. One product per PC.

Just seems a shame I already have the disc...Ah well... Many thanks

1 liscense = 1 install...
That's how it works.
You could install the same one to another machine but you won't find the crippling features much fun...they are getting good at that...

Do explain.. The cripple bit, I mean....(No not really Patio) So it's back to Ama#zon for a cheapy!!

No no... sure Patio can better explain

Well with Win7 for example it does random shutdowns with no warning and without saving data...
Another symptom is your web connectivity goes out...

You know...just fun stuff like that.

Awe Thanks Patio!! You are a little ray of sunshine on an otherwise rainy day!! Cheers Mate!

And certainly not stepping on Patio's toes but if you add an 'unofficial' Win 7 they will probably catch you out on things like 'media player' updates that will check your authenticity and it does have the potential to cause more problems than it's worth.
Sorry to *censored* in.. just helping

Still running Windows 7 RC? Time to upgrade.
