How many computers can I install and activate one Windows 7 license on?

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find an answer to this. I have Windows 7 Ultimate (Retail). How many activations do I get on it and what restrictions are there? Ie: Can I have it on multiple computers as long as I'm the only user? Can I install it on a set number of computers no matter who the user is?

Answer
You can activate it many times on your computer. the key which can be used with either 32 or 64 bit Windows 7 is only intended for use with 1 of the disk. You cannot use it to install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 bit on another partition or another computer, you will need to purchase an additional license.
