Hi All,

Does anybody know of any deals which would cover me for two licences of Window's 7? One is my work MacBook which I'm going to bootcamp and the other is the kids home PC.

To be honest, I don't want to shell out for two copies. If I buy one copy, will it install on two PC's - maybe not legally!

I know MS used to offer a deal which included 3 licences but it's not sold anymore I don't think..

Thanks.. Rob.

as your in IT you could go for the action pack, think it costs £199 / year. But you get 10 copys for win7 + ultimate, and loads of other stuff inc office.

Microsoft have given discounts to them as a Microsoft Partner because it is for students.

if you are only looking to purchase 2 licenses there is not much discount available. 10 or more then you can start discounting.
