We are going to be installing VS developer on a computer, a few months from
now we are getting VS architect. We are going to want to uninstall VS
developer from the first machine and install it on a second, and install VS
architect on the first.

I have heard their may be issues with installing VS developer on the second
computer due to copy protection (we are only going to have one copy installed
at a time)

Will this be an issue? And if so how do you deal with it (legally)?

Thanks for the help.

I don't believe you are going to run into any activation difficulties after
uninstalling, then reinstalling Visual Studio Enterprise developer. All
Microsoft products I've dealt with allow at least two activations before any
objections occur. That said, I have not tried multiple installations of
Visual Studio editions in retail packages. The same products in my MSDN
subscription can be installed and activated multiple times without any
issues.
To be perfectly safe, I'd advise selecting the telephone activation option
and recording the applicable phone number, so that if any problems do occur,
you can call and explain the situation to a human being.
