[QUOTE="jimbo45, post: 392690, member: 2566"] Hi there This actually is NOT a violation of the EULA -- it's Windows on te SAME machine -- you can install Windows as many times as you like on the SAME machine -- you can't RUN more than one concurrently of course. Is this any different from say copying Windows to a NEW HDD or restoring an Image. The fact that the HDD is on the Machine rather than in a draw in a closet makes no difference. For example say you are testing and have a SATA connector on the front of your machine -- You don't need TWO windows licenses if you change HDD's and boot from the SATA connector. You obviously aren't running TWO instances of Windows on the same machine -- there's no COURT on this planet who would think you are breaking the EULA operating Windows like that. If it's on a VM that's different as a VM is a separate machine and you would need another license. I'd even go so far as to think Ms would approve -- certainly this method makes for a great testing Lab. If your conscience really bugs you - get a SATA connector and attach directly to your Mobo -- then get two HDD's with a switch. End of story !!!. Cheers jimbo [/QUOTE]
