N ° N ° rule is clear enough. It is a copy (or a license) for
each computer.

There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    No, you cannot because

    1. If it came from HP is an OEM copy and the license for an OEM version limited to the first computer, on which it is installed.

    2 leaving aside the issue of licensing, it can not even install on a different motherboard. If it came from HP, it can be locked the original motherboard BIOS.

    Upgrade/license transfer

    I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

    If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

    Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

    How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

    Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

    I guess that you are talking about the tool captures.

    Open the capture tool , and then select Options.

    Place a check mark to always copy shears in the Clipboard.

    Click OK.

    Click new, select the part of the screen that you want to cut out. When you release the mouse button, the selected area will be copied to the Clipboard.

    Open a program that can display images (Paint, Wordpad, MS Word, etc.).

    Right click in the program and select Paste.

    The area of the screen that you snipped will be pasted into the program.

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

  • Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

    Hi all

    Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

    We can use it with exchange, sql, sharepoint,..., but I can't find any document for file server.

    Thank you.

    HIT / working ME with CSV W2K12/R2, W2K8 CSV volumes cannot bear not to cancel the MAPPING is the main difference.  But HITTING / will allow ME to create the active copies and replicas of volumes CSV

    Yes the cluster file shares are supported with SUCCESS / me.    If you think about it, SQL, Exchange are indeed a "sharing".   Because it is an NTFS volume with services that run against her.  SQL, Exchange or fileshare services.

    Kind regards

    Yes, you can use the same product key when reinstalling windows.

    Note: If you are facing a problem while activating, I recommend you contact the factory system since you are using an OEM computer.

    Your terms "Extended Desktop" are ambiguous, as you have not provided sufficient details with your question.

    The correct terminology is "Desktop Extension" or "Desktop covering.  It is important to note that these are two things a little different.  Fully answer your question, it is necessary to describe the differences.

    Others that by activating the special modes provided by the specific video drivers on the special cards, Windows 7 does not support Desktop covering.  The WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) for Windows 7 does not have The Extension Office.

    The Extension Office differs from Office covering that with Extenstion Desktop games will not mode "full screen" on all screens.  Also, you will see the taskbar on only one of the monitors, and will maximize demand for only the full monitor on which it resides when you press the expand button.  However, it is possible to resize a window on multiple monitors.  Also, it hosts capabilities and monitors of different resolutions.

    Apart from the games and their preferences for the maximization of the app, Desktop Extension is very useful.

    According to me, is it possible to use The Extension Office - a collection of video equipment - extend your Windows 7 Desktop in any number of monitors, although I have only used it with two monitors myself.

    -Christmas

    P.S. on the chances that your question is about a desktop image stretching on several monitors: Yes, you can do it.  Create a desktop image that is the size, in pixels, of the horizontal and vertical of the desktop space, and select 'Tile' mode when you set the background.
