Can I installed the Beta on more than one of my systems using the same key or do I need to request another key?
Thanks,

Can the beta be installed on my the one computer?
Tom; You will need to check your specific EULA. I suspect you are limited to one computer. The Technical Beta testers, TechNet and MSDN subscribers have different EULAs.

Actually normally it's OK - I think you can install as many times as you like... but you can't use it in a production environment.. but you'll deffo have to look at the EULA with your contract. It totally depends whether you've paid an MSDN or TechNet subscription or not I believe.

I believe Tom said he has Vista through the Friends and Family program (he got invited by an MVP), so might be slightly different again from the MSDN/TechNet EULA.

I think the MSDN release build is limited to 10 installs per key, technical testers are allowed up to 30 installs per key. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Zack; You missed the OPs source listed in the other thread. It is not the Technical Beta, MSDN or TechNet. None of the above EULAs may apply to the Friends and Family program the OP received Vista.
The Friends & Family are also actually entitled to more direct Microsoft support than any of the above programs. That is why I suspect 1 computer.
