Microsoft has different types of volume licenses where you simply use one key for several copies of Windows on different machines. It's more common with the server type editions while there are also some academic types with limits there. The link here shows several for the various types. http://search.microsoft.com/results...0=Search&FORM=QBME1&l=1&mkt=en-US&PageType=99

Yeah... I know that but
1. I dunno much about it
2. Will Halo work on it?
3. Every piece of software + games i bought were designed for windows.
4. I am calling ms tomorrow this issue.
My dad told me this was all right (using several computres and stuff) and I believed him as he worked at Inteplast and had dealt with many servers/computers and stuff, he said only companies needed another key..

yea your dad is wrong, I dont know if i would go as far as calling MS and what ever you do i wouldnt give them my product code they may disable it.
you have violated the service agreement and they would have the right to disable your key. I would just stop running them and run linux.

Okay. As far as installing it goes, here's the list: http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html
For simplicity's sake, you just need the top two. Ie, you need the 2000/XP/Vista graphical client for 2000, XP, or Vista, and you need the 98/ME graphical client for Windows 98 or ME
. Follow the directions here: http://www.computerforum.com/421903-post3.htmlHowever, since it is illegal to have multiple computers off of the same windows reg, another choice would be to run linux, and use the "Linux Console (x86) and BSD" client, the 7th one on the page.
As long as you have the same Team number (44538 in our case), and Username (Whatever you wanted) for each client, all the points from all the computers will be going to that same username on the stats board.
I wouldn't suggest running F@H on anything with less than 1Ghz, just because it isn't worth the power usage for the work they do.
Reguarding power usage, make sure that whoever pays for the power at your house is okay with you using up all that power. It would be great if you could run all of the computers, but if power is an issue, just run it on the fastest one/s. ie, your E4300.
Ok just saw...
My reaction to 2 days until an WU is finished:
24/7/nearly 365
Some people have hundreds of computers on 24/7, dedicated to folding.

Well if I understood all the posts correctly...
Cant you just run Windows XP on your main rig, and then put linux on all the other folding computers?
