Just wondering if anyone knows whether Windows 7 can be installed on more than 1 PC.
I have a pre order copy of Windows 7 but don't want to use it yet if I'm restricted to only 1 machine.
I have a Windows XP disc from a computer I bought in 2002 and I've used that disk to install XP on about 5 different computers over the years and there's never been a problem.
The product key code was accepted for all 5 PC's and was able to activate and validate every system I installed the XP software on.
So, I'm just wondering if I'm going to be able to do the same with 7 or whether it's going to be more restrictive relative to XP.
Thanks for any info.

What makes this different from every other loader out at the moment?
It's not a batch file and all commands are made within the application, it has great error handling and doesn't try to find the active partition based on size (which every other loader is doing at the moment).
So whats the advantages and why should you care?
With me building this loader as an application I can access system details and create declares for many of the functions. This means anyone that uses this loader should have a greater chance of success!
Whats the differences between each loader option?
Hover your mouse over each option to see
Ok so how do I run it?
Select the brand that best suits your system, if the brand isn't there don't worry as you can pick any and it should still work. All you have to do next is click the blue "Install" button and wait for the completed message.
I activated Windows 7 and now I want to activate Windows Vista, why isn't it working?
Use the uninstall option while on Windows 7 and reboot into Windows Vista. Next install your selected cert/slic in Windows Vista and then reboot back to Windows 7 and click install.
Activation failed, now what?
Try again with the beta or the older loader option enabled, one of them might just work for you.
Application integrity checking?
Hover your mouse over the green, amber or red icon towards the bottom right of the window to see the information.
I should note that even if the icon is green someone might have found a way around it so it's worth checking that the applications path is always the same as the location from where you launched the application. You should also check that the MD5 matches the MD5 found online.
** I have tested this on a virtual machine with a 100% success rate **
Changes since 1.6.4
1.6.5 -- Improved profile matchups (for matching a SLIC, certificate and serial)
1.6.5 -- Added activation checking for Windows 7, Vista and Server 2008
1.6.5 -- Added tokens checking for Windows 7 (alerts the user, repair is manual so that later on down the line this loader will never frankenbuild your system itself!)

1.6.5 -- Added Asus SLIC, certificate and Home Premium serial
1.6.5 -- Added new GRLDR beta 0.93 from zsmin

1.6.8 -- Added application integrity checking. This is a new feature which will display you with information about how the application was launched when the mouse is hovered over the green or red icon. It's goal is to inform you if you are running an untouched version of the application or one that could have been modified in some way by a script kiddie. Of course green is the best result, if it's red then be cautious as someone's likely binded a trojan!
1.6.9 -- Added amber as a color to the application integrity checking as well as a few tweaks to the existing code (you should still always check the displayed application path even when green)
