Trizoy VIP Member Jan 28, 2006 #3 Your allowed to have 1 installation per cd at a time... If that be in the old pc, or new one... Doesnt matter.. But one.. "legally"

H helmie New Member Jan 28, 2006 #4 Oh yeah, it would have to be on a multi install lisense. (expensive)

H helmie New Member Jan 28, 2006 #6 No, you cant use that again as windows will be on a differnet computer, so it will want a new COA etc. Its not fair, Bill gates can kiss my A$$ lol!!
