Dual booting with one licence?

from Stardock Forums
Am I allowed to have Windowsblinds installed on two diff OS ( XP64 and Xp32 ) on the same computer via dual boot? I would only be using one OS at a time obviously. I am assuming this would not be a problem?

So this means no then? This would be rather annoying as I cant see a reason to buy two copies of the s/w if I am not using them at the same time on a single computer. Yet if I have it on a second computer and not using it at the same time its ok?

Need some clarification here.

Aha thanks for that, well it looks like I am fine. I have Xp64 and Xp32 on two diff drives. As long as I dont have them on the same drive I am safe. It all is working fine, no problems at all. Just wanted to make sure I am not breaking the EULA. I think you should make a sticky on the legalities of installing with a dual boot system and diff computers.

Anyway cheers

Almost all EULA's take into account only the installation on a single computer....not using multiple operating systems on that single computer. Whether you boot to 98, 2000, XP or 2003..it's all the same machine.

You're fine.
