Only works for 1 computer? Seems like the key would only work once?

I don't believe you can install a single license on more than 1 computer. Once you activate it, it will keep track of your system, including hardware, to determine if you're trying to install it on another computer. That's probably why it wouldn't allow you to activate the second laptop. If you reformat the laptop you already installed it on, you should still be able to use the product key to reinstall it. Under XP, I had a full, non-upgrade license that I installed and reinstalled countless times on my custom PC. After upgrading the hardware on my PC several times, it wouldn't let me activate it over the Internet and I had to phone them. I imagine Windows 7 will be somewhat similar but won't know for sure until some time passes and people attempt their reinstalls. It's too bad you didn't know ahead of time, but a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3-User) is probably what you should have purchased.

You just need this device and thats all. You can use one keyboard to two laptops or computers.. This is worth to buy. I am so happy after buying this.

well, I only tried one of them and the keys didn't work. I'm not sure if all are the same but if you look at the reviews, there are the experiences of other buyers

The one I purchased works....Try testing just 1 Thumb Drive connected to your computer,- maybe competing USB devices could be drawing too much current. Try it one someone elses' computer, if same result. Perhaps you need a powered USB hub. Or mail back to seller for exchange.

Sadly it's for only one computer. I had to jump through a few hoops just to reinstall it when my computer crashed . I should have bought MS Office Bussiness version to begin with instead of the Home/Student version.

No, This is only for using in place of the one that you have to install a key in. It remembers your key code.

Sorry about that ! You could run install but it will only register on one computer. They nail you over $200.0 for a two computer software.

Not sure - I am only using on one computer . I see no reason it could not be done.

Don't know never tried. But I assume as long as you have the key code and download on both computer I would think it would work. But I've never tried so I can't say for sure.

Technically yes. However, the License is good for one PC and one installation, however you can perform an inplace repair installation (by using the upgrade option) by launching the setup program via the installation media from within Windows 7, and if you need to completely reinstall the operating system (where you might re-format the Hard Drive) despite it being activated a phone call to Microsoft's Activation hotline may allow you to use the key again as long as it's on the same computer. They're usually pretty helpful if something goes wrong with your 1st attempt at installing their software.

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

yes,because you cant program key with just one key,it will require computer to program.

The (c) 2008 Championship edition works on my HP 64 bit widows 7--for one user. I haven't been able to get it to work for multiple user accounts.

To be honest, I don't know. But it comes with its own USB adaptor, so basic functions should work. But Windows-specific keys probably don't.

This includes two keys. Should be no problem with copies as it is a standard key.

Sorry to hear that, I only purchase 1 and it works fine. I am not sure if this help.

I am not familiar with this situation, but I can tell you that both keyboards are active at the same time. Any given key, from either keyboard, results in an identical code going to the processor regardless of which keyboard it comes from. Apparently the ASCII codes are identical for both keyboards, so language differences would be specific to the particular windows code that handles key assignment, rather than being differentiated by the specific keyboard.
