    Hello,

    We bought Dell PCs with Windows XP Pro downgrade.
    These PCs come with 25-dig business Vista Key.
    We like to install business Vista then install Virtual PC 2007 to run
    Windows XP pro.
    Do we need 2 licenses on this PC or just one?
    We have both Windows XP Pro CD and Business Vista DVD from Dell.

    You'll need a separate license for each OS installed, yes.

    The Dell OEM licenses are for use on your Dell only, they cannot be used in
    a VM, which is considered a separate PC, needing it's own license.
