Multible licenses
Our company purchased 20 licenses of XP PRO, years ago, from microsoft for our computers. My question is... I've pre-ordered a Window 7 Ultimate upgrade. If I understand things correctly, when you upgrade, microsoft "kills" the license for the older OS that you have on your system (ie XP PRO in this case), so it can't be installed on another computer. My question is this... I only want to install Windows 7 on one machine, so we can try it out. We do not want the license killed on the other machines, tho. I know, Windows 7 has not shipped out yet. But does anyone have any idea, if the licenses on the other 19 machines will be 'killed'? Or will they still be valid, in case we need to re-install window XP, on one of the machines. Thanks
