One, you can install one copy of Vista on one computer. Vista is licensed per device. One copy of Vista per computer only. You can transfer that copy of Vista one time but may not do so for the purpose of sharing the license with two devices.
Meaning, you can install one copy of Vista on one computer. If you should upgrade the motherboard that will constitute a transfer of license and you will have to reinstall Vista.
If you buy a new computer, you can transfer that copy of Vista to the new one provided you remove that copy from the old computer before doing so.
It was the same with XP but the activation system with Vista is far more strict.
You can however, reinstall it an unlimited number of times on the same system

i would hold off on window visata. it is not compatible to a lot of other software. I am expericeing this problem now. Email an resume to a company and they can not open the file because of windows vista. I also can not seem to connect to my wireless network with windows vista as I can with my xp.

Legally 1. Also, once it is activated over the internet, it will not allow other PCs to have that same install once it detects it.
