Can I install Win7 upgrade on another computer after upgrade Win8 on my computer?

Initially, my computer came with Vista installed. Three years ago, I bought an upgrade to Win7 and installed. A few months ago, I bought and installed an upgrade of Win8 on the same computer. I have another computer running Vista, and I was wondering if I could use the Win7 upgrade license to upgrade this computer. Technically, the upgrade of Win8 could meet the requirements with the Vista license on the original computer. I run Win7 on the other computer without having to buy a new license. Is this possible? The upgrade disks are details of Microsoft.

Yes, it is possible. Because the machine was originally license with a qualification license (Vista), he would take the place of this license, thus freeing the Windows 7 Upgrade to serve elsewhere. So, Yes, you can transfer it to other Vista machine.

  • I have enabled Acrobat XI since June 2013. How can I install second copy to another computer?

    I have enabled Acrobat XI since June 2013. How can I install second copy to another computer?

    You can install it on another machine the same way that you install on the first machine.  If you need to download to do this, you should have a link available on your Adobe account online.  If you are unable to find such a link, you can always download the trial version from the Acrobat (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html) product page and use your serial number to activate to use fully.

    If there is another problem that prevents you from know how to install it, you need to explain what the problem is.

  • Can I install Windows 7 on another computer if the first installation on another computer has been deleted before activation?

    Here's my situation: I installed an oem version of Windows 7 on a computer, I've set up - downloaded all the updates. I have not activated yet. Now I changed my mind about the operating system I want to install on this computer. Because the software was not enabled can I remove and install in the future on another computer? Or Microsoft knows somehow I installed the operating system on a computer, even if I do not activate it.

    Only the activation records material signature in the Activation of MS servers to compare to reinstall or check the real.  What you have now is an installation not enabled with probable 30 days to activate.

    You are wise to wait to be sure because once the OEM version is activated in the EULA, it can be moved to another motherboard.  However since OEM became the only Windows 7 Home or Pro version available there are some reports of agents activating MS make exceptions to move with a good cause.  But this cannot count on.

    Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

    No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

    For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

    my laptop is dying, I can move my hard drive to another computer and still use vista coa?

    Hello

    It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.

    Just be sure that you have only installed on one machine at a time.

    A single license means one Installation.

    And if it is retail and transfer you, in all likelihood will have to reinstall the operating system, as this disc hard the 'old' aura card mother drivers installed, which will cause starting problems.

    See you soon.

    Your license allows you to have two machines with facilities enabled so that you can have both if you want to have a backup available.

    If you do not want to keep a backup, most important that the uninstall is to disable because if you uninstall without disabling you lose extra activation until you get Adobe Reset.
