[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 561646, member: 24098"] Have you actually tried this? In my experience with product activation, it's one activation per key. Although you are correct in that the discs are not tied to one particular key (although some keys are specific to different disc revisions). Interesting - I haven't seen that software before. However, it still won't work for restore discs, which many manufacturers are now packing. I'm trying to keep my instructions as simple as possible - of course there are always exceptions. Also note that the EULA of branded OEM copies specify that the disc can only be used on the machine that it came with. Regardless of what you can actually do with the disc and available hacks, discussion of violation of product EULAs is prohibited on this forum (see [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/announcement.php?f=4&a=7"]forum rules[/URL] in case you haven't read them already). Remember that corporate, volume licenses are different. Retail and OEM copies don't play by the same rules. [/QUOTE]
