according to the website when I tested it you only need one
Actually I had a look into this a bit more. What Scan are currently selling is specifically the System Builders OEM. It's designed for system assemblers to pre-install on a complete system that they then sell to the customer. The license conditions are here:

and the important part is this:
It's also important to note that the System Builder is responsible for end-user support.Originally Posted by MS
In my case this is the correct license - I am a system builder, and I will be distributing this license pre-installed on a fully assembled computer - I also happened to buy the CPU, motherboard, hdd, PSU+Case entirely from Scan
Note that RAM isn't neccessary (though HDDs are equally a type of memory ).
The sticker is also a different design from the non-system builder OEM I've seen in the past - http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/systembuilder/
well put, so in all reality, scan should be selling them to us on there own so we can build the systems
thats how i used to sell them a couple of years ago over the counter
I think they would if they could prove that we were putting them on a completely new fully built system. But the only way they can actually do that is by checking to see if we've bought all the components from themselves (maybe if you had recent invoices for all the parts you'd be ok, but I can't imagine that being easy to code in a simple automated web based checkout.)
