This looks to have changed for Win2k: 4. TRANSFER-Internal. You may move the product to a different Workstation Computer. Transfer to a Third Party. The initial user of the Product may make a one-time transfer of the product to another end user..... So this would seem to indicate that you can move it between your own machines anytime, any number of times, or sell it. Note: this is not an OEM version, so there was no harware to start with. However, the real nasty piece is this: (Under Intallation and Use): You may not use the Product to permit any Device to use,access or display or run other executable software residing on the Workstation computer, nor may you permit any Device to display the products user interface, unless the device has a separate license for the product. If I read that correctly, I would need a second license of Win2k to display the first Win2k display on my linux box (using VNC for instance). However even if I did that, I am not allowed to use VNC then to actually run anything on the first box! I guess this limits the number of win2k boxes I can run to the amount of deskspace I have spare for monitors/keyboards!
