    The Windows 7 EULA states 1 copy per computer so installing the same copy of Win 7 to multiple partitions using the same install key is a violation of the EULA.
    LOL.

    You better tell everyone using Windows System Image.

    Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and numerous virtual machines
       New #13

    Enterprise software is designed for multiple install using the same key. This is what corporate, collages and anyone involved in virtual machines in a very serious way will be using. The same key can be used thousands of time and is normally linked to an in house sever to update the activation or not as required. If you walk off with the colleges laptop after a while as it cannot talk to the server and veruify the key it will stop working. This is not the same as the consumer version of Windows as you do need multiple keys for multiple installations.
