| Microsoft Corp. is limiting the number of machines to which users can transfer Windows Vista licenses as part of licensing changes the company has made to its Windows client operating system.
When Windows Vista is available, consumers will be able to transfer the operating system license they purchase to only one machine other than the one for which they originally bought Vista, said Shanen Boettcher, a Windows general manager at Microsoft. He said Microsoft thought the change made sense because "lifetimes for PCs are getting longer." Most likely, a user will not need to transfer an operating system license to more than one computer during the time that operating system is the latest one available, Boettcher said. |
