[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1287398, member: 46727"] It's relevant if you're going to use it on both computers, however, removing it from one and installing on another is legal with the EULA provided you have a genuine MS boxed copy not an OEM version. RE your problem: It's strange that your new MBP thinks the cloned image is Vista. I personally do not trust WinClone as it has been known to cause errors and problems copying images. One reason why it's no longer being developed. I don't know if WinClone is at fault but it's suspicious. You should have your original DVD of Windows 7, right? Use that instead to install not a cloned image. The enumeration of hardware is probably messed up anyway. You're can run Win 7 without activating it for 30 days. That gives you time to do as you stated above and remove it from the Mac Pro and then activate it on the MBP. [/QUOTE]
