Windows 7 and MS

[pollardhimself]

Just wondering does Microsoft keep up with how many computers 1 copy is installed on?

Yes. It's called activation.

Guess that was a dumb question, So if it sees more than one copy activated it wont work? I know ive loaded ms office and activated it on more than one computer

It all really depends on what type of license you have/own. Most retail copies of Office allow you to install it on two machines.

If this is for your place of work, you will need to make sure you have the correct licenses for any Microsoft product you use. Trust me, you do not want Microsoft to conduct an audit on your business.

If it's been activated on too many machines or too many times it simply won't activate again (unless you call MS and tell them you need to activate it again).

Yeah, it is like asking how I pirate my own Win 7.
