For each Windows 7 instance you run inside a VM, you'll need a license.

If you are running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate, you get one licensed Windows XP for free with XP mode. Any other OS needs to be licensed indivudually, whether this runs on hardware or in a VM.

For the purpose of licensing, a VM is a separate PC.

Err..I understand only english :D but retail licenses of windows are transferable, as long as you use one on only one machine at a given time. At the most you may need to call MS to activate.

I will suggest if you are only using each machine for a short period of time do not use a product key and just use the 30 trial.

Abhishek, you are answering the wrong question. OP's question is whether he can use the same key on 2 separate windows installs- one real, the other virtual. The answer is No because one license can only be used in one install at any time.

You are obviously using 2 different keys because you have different editions.
