    Hi all... several months back I did a build and installed Win7(64) as my OS.
    (a Gigable ud5 board, with an i5, and an ssd).

    A couple months later, I bought a second copy of this OS to install on another system.
    BUT... as it turned out the other system didn't need it.
    I was able to recover with OEM recovery disks.
    BUT, meanwhile I had opened the new Win7 dvd packet.
    Then, I set it aside.


    Now, I am trying to determine which copy is in use on my system,
    and which is still available for use on another system.
    Any quick easy way of doing this?
    Thanks.

    Looks like Belarc does what I need (in the Software Licenses section.)
    but I'll try speccy too. Thanks!

    Yep! It's good too.
    Thanks... two great tools.
    Looking forward to exploring them in greater depth.
