Default Two Copies of Windows 7

I have two copies of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade with two product
keys. Can I use one disc to upgrade two computers using the two product
keys. I would like to save the second disc for a backup. I assume this
can be done but wanted to check first.

Thanks

The DVD image is identical and the DVD's are not unique. The product key is
the unique identifier. So, yes, it can be done.

BUT...................... upon activation after installation, Augustus may
not be able to activate the second installation, depending on whether his
Win 7 is for one computer only or several.
