I've been reading all over the internet that you shouldn't be able to install windows 7 on more than one system with the same key simultaneously.
Well I've literally done exactly this and don't understand how it's working... I built 2 different custom PCs years ago. I bought 1 copy of OEM windows 7 home premium and installed it with the same key on both computers. I had no issues doing this and they have been running simultaneously for years with no issues.
Can anybody explain how this is possible?
Additionally, I was able to install a single copy of MS office on several PCs.. How is that possible? It makes sense that I should've gotten some kind of error during installation/authentication saying that the key was already in use, but I never did in any of these cases.
Anybody else experience this or have an explanation??
