Parallels & Windows 7: One licence per computer?

[doxavita]

I currently have Parallels and Windows 7 installed in my 13" MacBook Pro. If I wanted to install those programs in my 27" iMac I would need to buy an additional license for both programs, right? (one license per computer, is it?)

Duff-Man says....Yes. Operating systems (as far a non-corporate or site license user is concerned) are almost always single computer unless otherwise stated, like Apple's "Family Pack" for instance. As for Parallels, it is also single computer per software key http://www.parallels.com/about/eula/ - it's all in there....oh yeah!

OK, however, if I uninstalled them from my MacBook Pro, would they work in my iMac? Or might I face activation issues?

Technically, you must uninstall them from your MBP since you can only have them on 1 computer. If it balks about it on install, you might have to call it in to activate. Either way it should not be a big deal.

You should be able to move the VM windows image from your old computer to your new computer instead of reinstalling windows and reactivating it. I'm not sure if Parallels requires activation but you probably should uninstall it first.

Because your license for both products is a single computer you have to uninstall/remove them from your other computer.
