Free Express products - Activation and licenses for new machines after the one year p

| Does someone here know if the "free" Express products (for one year) must be
activated after the installation on a machine and if you must download a new
copy for each machines that you have?
I'm also interested to know if we'll have to buy a copy if we want to
install it on a new machine after the end of the one year period (either for
a replacement of the first machine or the adding of a second machine) for
those who have already downloaded it on or before November 7th 2006?
Thanks,

You still have to register each Express product within 30 days (which is
free). And, like Chris said, no matter how you install it, still get the CD
ISO burnable copies so you can repair it after Nov 2006... : )
