SW2005 install limits?

Is there a limit to how many machines a US seat of SW2005 can be
installed on? I haven't installed it yet. I want to experiment with it
on one machine, before I load it on my working machine. Does it get
registered by machine, like MS products? And does it know when you reach
a limit of installs, or is it an open (unlimited)install like SW2003?
I know I can only use it on one machine at a time.

Why not practice administrative installs while you are at it?

 

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Theoretically you can install it unlimited times. It doesn't have to dial
up the mother ship to install or register. If you know sw03, it's just
like that. Legally it may be another issue. If you're really just
testing, no one's gonna bust you for multiple installs, it will only become
a problem if you give your ser#/reg code to someone else or if you start
double-using the same ser# simultaneously. The people I've seen busted
have been either careless or flagrant or both. You know, when a company
buys one seat of software, but trains 4 people and in class they're talking
like they're all using it all day long... don't do that.

 

Thanks, matt for the straight answer.
It's just for testing.

Aaron,

When your testing is completed on the various machines, you should do
yourself, your co-workers and your company the favor of uninstalling
the software. It's best not to leave active installations floating
around which may come back to haunt you with piracy issues...
