Win 8 upgrade - the user can cause dual boot using the same license?
Hello
Thanks to MS for offers updated Win 7 for win 8 to 14.99 USD for all new buyers of Win 7 PC after June, 2012.
I'm one of the eligible candidates for the upgrade at this price. However, I spent a lot of time, money and effort to put in place the Win 7 OS so that he could function at an optimal level I want.
My understanding of an upgrade to win 8 is to lose everything I have Win 7 and replace the entire operating system to win 8 via a download from the MS. Download Center
The problem is that I don't know if Win 8 is what I like and not sure if it is better than Windows 7. Reinstallation of Win 7 back takes time and effort.
Do I know if the user can install Win 8 to another partition primary drive c during the upgrade, retaining the original Win7 (same license) to the other partition?
If this is the case, it would be a great bonus for the new buyer of Win 7 PC, otherwise the user need to spend more money to buy to win a CD of Installation of 8 at the store and install t to separate partition.
Thank you
Low
You can dual boot with the free upgrade, so that you upgrade to the eligible license, in this case Windows 7. If you want to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8, you must buy the full version license, what is Windows 8 Pro for use staff system

Then you need a server operating system.
And just for the record, although there are perhaps 20 connections, a machine can make multiple connections, so the figure of 20 is not necessarily the same as the number of machines that can connect physically.

I just bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack, with 3 upgrade licenses.
I update my 3 PCs at the House Windows XP to Windows 7.
I double on 2 of these PCs, boot Windows XP (for me, one for my wife) on different partitions. the two Windows installs fine activated using the same license (probably because they are on the same physical computer with the same hardware, and only 1 instance of Windows XP can be used at a time).
I like to create 2 different partitions, and install Windows on each and choose the one that start when I boot. It worked well in Windows XP. Can I do this with my new Windows 7 Family Pack?
My final configuration would have 1 PC with 1 partition and a new update to Win 7; and 2 PCs each dual-boot using the other 2 licenses.
Please calm down, the question is not so complicated (if you read the operating instructions / first license agreements).
(1) If you want to cancel an upgrade and return to your old system under license (XP), you can do it. You can not use XP anymore, If you upgrade. But if you come back that the State of origin, you will have the same license as before.
(2) with your Family Pack, you can spend 3 PC to Windows 7. 3 upgrade licenses = 3 licenses to upgrade. It's an interesting idea to use it to "5 installed on different partitions 5" because two of them are "on the same physical PC." However, you should know the rule "1 license is 1 pc." You use not here too artificial.

We will be upgrading to ColdFusion 9 Enterprise edition 11. Can I use the same license keys or do we need new ones?
A license key is specific to a particular version. CF9 keys do not work with CF11. You will need new license keys.

If I install CC on one computer, then after having worked on this computer for awhile I install United Nations. Is that what I can then reinstall CC on another computer under the same license? Thanks for your attention
You can activate the product on two computers, if are not the product on a computer before the uninstall, it is always better to disable the CC from this computer.
To turn off
