NiK0laI writes "TechWeb has posted an article regarding Vista's new
license and how it allows you to only move it to another device once.
How will this work for people who build their PCs? I have no intention
of purchasing a new license every time I swap out motherboards. 'The
first user of the software may reassign the license to another device
one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the
"licensed device," reads the license for Windows Vista Home Basic, Home
Premium, Ultimate, and Business. In other words, once a retail copy of
Vista is installed on a PC, it can be moved to another system only
once. ... Elsewhere in the license, Microsoft forbids users from
installing Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium in a virtual
machine. "You may not use the software installed on the licensed device
within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system," the legal
language reads. Vista Ultimate and Vista Business, however, can be
installed within a VM.'" Overly Critical Guy points out more
information about changes to Vista's EULA and the new usage
restrictions. "For instance, Home Basic users can't copy ISOs to their
hard drives, can't run in a virtualized environment, and can only share
files and printers to a maximum of 5 network devices."
