one Win7 Disc + 4 computers = ?
I have recently purchased 1 Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium installation disc from CompUSA. When I purchased the disc I was under the impression that you could use 1 disc to install Windows 7 on more than 1 computer. I have been researching lately and think I have made a mistake. Can you or can you not install Windows 7 Home Premium on 4 computers with the same installation CD?

There was a limited time offer of Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack that included three computers. Does your CompUSA box say "Family Pack"?
Cheers!

Did I make a mistake by purchasing the OEM version even if im a casual desktop user not a system builder?
