ceez Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hello everyone.I have someone that's interested in getting WinXP licenses for 3 computers. Does MS offer such licensing? Or do they need to purchase 3 individual licenses?I think I read somewhere that MS was probably introducing multi-lic for win7 since most families have more than 1 pc at home now.Can anyone confirm this?Thank youCeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 To get multiple copies of Windows XP or Vista, you had to buy an OEM x Pack (x = 3, 5, 10, 30, 100, etc). They were all cheaper than buying separate OEM licenses, but the 3, 5, and 10 pack discounts were so very minuscule over separate OEM licenses as to be not much worth it. Windows 7 was sold in a "family pack", or 3 copies of Win7 Home Premium at a pretty decent discount, but that was a short-lived program. You can still find them on eBay, but I can't imagine you'd save anything bidding on eBay versus buying 3 separate Win7 Home Premium licenses.
