Yes, but as an exception to this rule, if you have attached Software Assurance through Volume Licensing you can install and use a second copy of the software in a separate hard-drive partition on the device. You can choose to run Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate or a prior version in place of the second copy in the hard-drive partition.
