As best I know, 1. I have seen some "multi-packs" but those should ship with different keys.

It depends on the license. I'm guessing Vista Business comes with a bulk key, so you would buy a set number of licenses when you buy it. Check the packaging and see if it says how many you get.

At one time, one.

From one to the next, I believe it's unlimited, just call them up and reactivate.

If you have an MSDNAA login you should find your school's contact to verify how many keys you have access to. Keep in mind that there are strict policies regarding how they can be used.

Actually I believe student keys operate under the same restrictions as OEM. That is why you have access to multiple keys per login. If the license was the same as retail, I suspect they would only give you one.

You can call 1 877 426 6010 to get the MS licensing dept. However you may get shuffled around since it is the academic product.
