I searched and couldn't find anything. Maybe someone who has done this has the answer.

I have win 7 installed on my mbp via bootcamp. I'm thinking of purchasing another mbp and would want win7 installed on it. Can I remove it from the old mbp and install it on the new one without purchasing a new code? I don't want it on 2 computers, just the new one. I just don't want to have to purchase win 7 again. Thanks

Is your copy of Windows 7 a Microsoft boxed version? If so, it can be moved to another machine. However, if it's an OEM System Builder's version it can not be moved. (That's according to the MS EULA)
