I heard it is possible to run more than one computers on the same serial of Windows. I also heard that it can be registered and use all the functions of any legal copy of Windows. Lets say I have 4 computers in my house and don’t want to pay $800 for windows on each one if I build them all myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA agreement with Microsoft which redeems this being illegal or improper use of windows. I would like to hear your sides on this, or the whole truth behind this. Sources: http://www.astahost.com/info.php/Serial-Multiple-Copies-Windows_t12186.
