1 Disc, Multiple computers

My son has Windows XP. I want to make sure I understand this right before
installing it on other computers. If I purchase a license with no disc I
can use his disc to install WindowsXP on another computer with the purchased
license, correct?

Assuming that your son has a retail license and that you purchased
additional retail licenses, yes.

If his is a retail version, not an OEM one, yes you can buy extra
licenses (see
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/addlic.asp). But
it's not generally a good deal.

The problem is that Microsoft sells additional licenses at only a
small savings over the list price. You're almost certainly better
off just buying a complete second copy from a discount source.
