If you have already used this DVD to install windows on your laptop, then you will not be able to install and activate this copy of Windows on another computer. You will need a different product key. You can install this copy on multiple computers only if you have a Volume Licensed Copy of the Windows 7.

So, please contact Microsoft on the phone or online and get a new copy of Windows 7.
