    I couldn't seem to find an answer to this question on the rest of the forum so here goes.

    Is it possible to install, say, Windows Vista Business on two different computers with the same box? I know you could do it with XP, but I don't know about Vista. I was hoping to save money for my parents and myself by buying through this student program at my college. Will this work out? :)

    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    Installing the same key on two machines has always been illegal; Vista, XP, MacOS...all of them.

    And no, it will not work well at all...but we cannot help you here with this. You need two copies.
