Does anyone know if I can reinstall Vista on another computer? I want to
reformat and sell the PC that I currently have it installed on and would like
to continue testing Vista on a different one. I still have the disk and key
number from my original installation, but wondered if I can reinstall and
activate it on a different PC.
Thanks
 
Hi Mike :-)

As I understand, as long as it is on only one machine at a time. Thus, if
you uninstall if from the original machine, you can install it on a second
machine.

I believe a key for Vista beta can be used on up to 10 different
machines. Concurrently even, I think.
