Hello Brad, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You can only install and activate one Windows 7 on one computer per product key number. If you have a retail Windows 7 version, then you can install and activate it on another computer, but it must be completely uninstalled from any any prior computer first.
Hope this helps,

As long as it's understood by the OP that those are OEM and not retail and can only be installed to one machine and the individual keys can never be moved to another PC if need be.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number * BFK Customs *

I'm guessing that this poster likely doesn't want to spend $500+ to put Windows 7 on his computers. It is still $400 cheaper than buying 3 full individual licenses. Everything is relative. But then you can also get 3 OEM Home Premium for $315. So there are choices. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
