Through Technet subscription. 64 bit and 32 bit. 10 keys. The same keys are used for 64 or 32 bit.

Has any one heard for sure how many Windows 7 Beta's you can use the same product key number on to activate with?

 

[mansrm81]

No I haven't Shawn

Edit you can have 3 computers running the beta with the same key.

Your product key will work for up to three separate computers, so if you want to install the Windows 7 Beta on another PC, you can re-use the same key.
With a Technet subscription, You can get 10 keys (The same keys work for 64 or 32 bit, so you could say 5 for each)
I would guess that, if you have a legit key, you can probably get even more over the telephone option. Microsoft would not be too concerned as they will all expire anyway.

as stated in the EULA it should be practically unlimited


---------------------my own personal opinion-------------------------------
(but these are for personal use so im thinking 5-10 online (we are talking about personal computers) and another few more through the phone

 

[Brink]

Thank you Dave and Mansrm81.

 

[mansrm81]

1. No. 10 keys. That's what I got anyway.
2. My quote is from Microsoft, not guessing! see
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-faq.aspx

I would not take too much heed of a Eula in a Beta. But as I said, I think Microsoft will be quite relexed over the issue.

P.S. Later. Reading the next (smarteyeball)post -That is the Technet subscription availability.

 

[smarteyeball]

I thought I got several different keys myself only to discover upon closer inspection that they were the same key. In the end I only got two different keys, one for x64 and one for x32. That's sleep deprivation for you

But almost everyone here does not have a technet subscription. You make it sound like everyone will get 10 keys. They will in reality only get 2 keys usually (if they fight for one on the x64 and x86) unless they have multiple LIVE ID's to sign in with.

I got mine last night. Running 64bit with it right now and it has been working fine since good luck, I hope you get it too!

 

[echrada]
