Can I use the same windows 7 product key that I used in one computer to a other computer?

Ok I downloaded the Windows 7 Release Candidate Like in August and I installed it to my Acer Aspire One D250. But I want to install Windows 7 to my other laptop that has Windows Vista, and I still have my windows 7 ISO, but the problem is that Microsoft wont give out product keys any more, but I still have the product key that came with the Windows 7, but I already used this product key in my Aspire One. Now what I want to know is if I could use this same product key for my other laptop or not? And what happens if you don't put a product key during installation? If you know a way to get product keys please tell me. Please give me good answers. Thanks.

    That product key will only work with the Windows 7 RC ISO. It can be installed on another computer but what is the use of installing it since it will stop working after a few more months of use. By March next year the computer with the Windows 7 RC will start shutting down every two hours. It's only for evaluation purpose. If you install it you will lose Vista for good. Then you will have to reinstall a new operating system on the laptop. And the same thing will happen to the first computer that you installed Windows 7 RC.
