License query
Ive searched around regarding licenses but i dont get it,
here's the problem, i bought windows 7 ultimate full version and installed on home pc. few months later i installed it on my laptop not knowing you need to go through licenses etc as i only ever used xp on multiple pc's and thought they had the same old rule 12 installs a year.
Now when i try to activate my laptop it is saying that this key is already activated or something and i can buy another license online etc and some other options.
My worry is, can i buy another license and activate the same install or do i have to buy a whole new windows 7 ultimate and reformat and reactivate with a fresh copy?
I have already loaded everything onto my laptop, now i cant be bothered formatting/or re installing windows 7 anyway and going thru all that crap again just to activate..
Can this be activated just as simple as buying a license without a whole new windows 7 ultimate, what are my options??
regards
Moe
