Hi,
I have a Windows machine. I want to run another IE on it. This time as a
virtual application (use virtualization). Do I need to have a spcial license
for this?

Internet Explorer is not part of MS Office, so this is really the wrong
group to ask. But what license are you talking about? You can run as
many instances of IE as you want, at least till the operating system
runs out of resources to support another instance.

Still, if this runs as a virtual application, it may need a license. Take for
example WinWord. If I have another instance of WinWord in my desktop. This
instance runs virtually (Virtual application). Should I have another license
for that?

Microsoft Word is licensed per USER, or per PC and has specific EULA
spelling out where and what it can be used for and on. Read the EULA for
your version.

Running any app within a virtual pc requires a seperate licence, if the
origonaly installed app has a single licence
Its broadly speaking 2 pc's

You can download IE7 here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx

Since it is freely downloadable for Windows XP and Server '03 there should
not be any licensing issue but if you already have it installed on the
primary system you should be able to look at any EULA in the Help section.

I can find no place on MS's web site that restricts the use of IE 7 to any
particular machine, blade or virtual machine.
