There will be a family pack that will become available on Oct. 22 that will come with 3 Windows 7 Home Premium UPGRADE licenses, meaning the PCs must be either running Vista or XP. This deal is not available for Windows 7 Ultimate, so you will have to acquire the Ultimate version through the Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade program.

Each key normally gets activation on one computer.

They have a family upgrade 3-pack of the home premium version though.

You almost certainly don’t need the additional features in Ultimate this round, especially for home uses. You might readily do better looking into the family pack for what you want to do.

Win7 is excellent. The companies that made my hardware made great solid drivers for Win7 64-Bit. (ASUS, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, etc.) I ran Win7 RC for months without a BSOD and I was using the Vista drivers. Now that I have Win7 U-SE official release and the Win7 drivers are out everything is still great. It is more efficient than Vista which makes it faster; it’s even more visually attractive too. The user interface has been revamped and the Libraries feature is great. There are still some small permission issues with games but Windows 7 is still the best OS since XP, and it’s not even officially out yet. The only bad thing I’ve heard is possible issues with the upgrade disk from Vista to Win7; and upgrade from XP to Win7 is apparently possible but it’s not a walk in the park.

To be honest At the moment Windows 7 isnt all that great, well for me it isnt anyway i keep getting BSOD everytime i get into windows. And it isnt any faster then vista, i recomend staying with vista if you are not having any problems with that

The normal Windows 7 Ultimate product is only licensed for a single computer, meaning you would need one for each computer. Microsoft has said that they will be selling a 3 computer “family pack” that should be cheaper then buying 3 individual copies.

As far as i know you can only do this on 1 computer, because you cannot share the product key ( but tbh mate its extremely unlikely you’ll get caught ) torrent sites offer product keys and some dont get blacklisted for years and think thousands of people would of been using that and you sharing it with 1 or 2

No. You can only install one copy, unless it says it can be put on more.

I think the REALLY expensive ones (like the ones teachers use) can be put on at most three computers
