No You Don t Need A Family To Use A Family Pack That s just what they label the package
I m pretty sure the license terms don t specify that you have to install it only within family computers. I doubt they even specify the computers have to be under one roof.If you have 3 computers to install it on, I d expect you re fine. There would probably mainly be something about not reselling (or something similar) in there, so you d be out of bounds if you went out and sold off the keys they provide to strangers, etc.They mainly just label things the way they do so that those portions of the market most likely to find something useful can readily find it. But they ll happily sell Professional to consumers, for example.
The license restrictions refer to the number of simultaneous computers that you can have Windows 7 installed on. So, having 3 licenses means you can install Windows 7 on 3 different computers.Microsoft doesn t care what those three PCs are used for.. if it s just you, your family, etc. It just means you bought three licenses in bulk as opposed to one.Install away, my friend.
it doesnt matter - just because it is named family pack it doesnt change that you are allowed to install it on 3 differente privately used computers. its like buying a family pizza for one person
