Turns out Vista license transfers are not so severe after all

Posted by sujay on October 27th, 2006 — Posted in operating system

Microsoft will allow its Vista license to be re-activated up to ten times. Windows Vista will not require a system re-activation unless the hard drive and one other component is changed. This means that enthusiasts will be able to swap CPUs, memory and graphics cards out without any worry about having to re-activate with MS, either on the internet or by phone. This is good news to PC enthusiasts. You still can only use the license on only one machine at a time.

Microsoft has release an utility application which lets you check if your PC is capable of supporting Vista. The app will not work with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.

Hey Microsoft, how about releasing a Volume license pack for the household? Not everyone will be able to pay for an extra non-OEM-ed copy of Vista for their second or third computer at home.
