Close analysis of the End User License Agreement (EULA) in recently leaked builds of Windows 7 show signs of a Windows 7 Family Pack License. Findings by Kristian Kenney and Ed Bott show that Windows 7 Home Premium will probably ship with a special licensing option aimed at home users with multiple Windows instalallations.

The Windows 7 Home Premium agreement states: "If you are a 'Qualified Family Pack User', you may install one copy of the software marked as "Family Pack" on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there. Those computers are the 'licensed computers' and are subject to these license terms. If you do not know whether you are a Qualified Family Pack User, visit go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=141399 or contact the Microsoft affiliate serving your country."

The link currently refers to the Microsoft home page.

Microsoft did not yet comment on publications around the Windows 7 Family Pack.
