Is it illegal?

Is it illegal to use the same Vista Disk on the same computer 2 times?

Hello Vadados,

If you have more than one instance of Vista installed, then each
installation needs a different product key number used on each
installation for it to be legal.

If you are just using it to reinstall Vista with still only that one
instance, then it is fine.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Sorry Vadados,

That would not be legal. You would have to have a seperate product key
per installation to be able to activate both installation instances.

Windows 7 RC is not illegal for download as Dave has specified. Yes, you
will need a different product key for each installation however, those
too are free, through Microsoft. To learn more and for direct access to
the download center, Microsoft does have a site with whitepapers,
tutorials, walkthroughs and screen casts on all the “under the hood”
features in Win 7. Check out the Springboard site for Windows 7 on
TechNet here http://tinyurl.com/832nco

As Long As You Don't Try 2 Install A Virtual Machine With The Same Disk, You
Can Re-Install Vista On The Same Computer As Many Times As You Like, You May
Need 2 Re-Activate By Phone If It's Been Less Than 120 Days Since You Last
Activated Windows Vista, However.
