I believe you can only install one Vista license on one PC - it's not transferable.

only on one pc at anyone given time. Read the OEM agreement which you have to accept lol, its mentioned there and it takes about 20 minutes to read

The Academic Upgrade licence version of Vista isn't an OEM licence. You can transfer this version from one PC to another, but you can only have it installed on one PC at a time.

this is the same as any agreement as long as its only installed on the machine.

OEM is just provided when you get a default installation disk and is intent for that machine only.

Whereas this user is refering to the purchase of a seperate retail kit
