Microsoft Windows 8.1 Installation Question
EE PRos,
When you purchase Win 8 for your Desktop/Laptop, how many systems can you put it on? at $119 a pop, it gets expensive if you have 3 computers and have to pay for each.

You will only be able to activate it on one Desktop/Laptop, you have to purchase for each laptop/desktop
One. :-(
Get expensive. Yes. :-(
Get expensive. Yes. :-(
If you have licenses (xp/vista/win7) for those computers (or other computers no longer in use), consider to buy upgrade licenses, those are cheaper, about 80 USD.

OK.... I do have upgrades and will avoid the $119/license.
One other question; Office 365. If you purchase one subscription for one year you can run Office on any computer via the cloud/web right? Can you run more then on (i.e. you have 3 members of your family who want Office)...... or do you have to purchase the $215/yr. subscription 3 times? How is that controlled?
Does MS ever give us a break??? Do I have to be a student again to get a good deal from the boys in Redmond?

Home users may use it. Don't have to be a student. Does that apply? :)

My question was on Office 365, MS's cloud solution for Office.... how many users can use a single purchased license? How does MS prevent multi-users (is it a concurrency issue)? So if I buy a 1 year subscription for Office 365, I can access Office from any Web Browser and use it. What if someone in my family also wants to use it? Is it controlled by userID, concurrency, or what?
Thank you,
