You must purchase a license (Product Key) for each
installation of Windows XP on a different computer.
Otherwise, you'll be in violation of the EULA and
Product Activation will fail on the second installation.
On the back of the Windows XP box, please read the statement
"For installation and use on one computer"
(see License Agreement for license terms).
To access the License Agreement on your XP computer, go to:
Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter.
Then click on "End-User License Agreement".
You can also open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and hit enter. Click on "Questions and answers about the EULA".
The End-User License Agreement states quite clearly:
"You may install, use, access, display and run one copy
of the Software on a single computer...."
Academic Versions of Windows XP are:
--- For noncommercial, educational use only.
--- For qualified educational users only.
--- Non-upgradeable to the next Windows O/S.
--- Non-transferable.
--- Has installation support only.
--- Has a non-perpetual license that is tied to the eligibility of the
user.
(If a user is no longer a student or educator, the license is no
longer valid)
Your right to use the Academic version of Windows XP ends when
you no longer meet the criteria for using the Academic version of XP.

| Hello,
|
| How do I know if I have WinXP student edition or WinXP home edition? Also, my cousin just bought WinXP
student edition, and I am wondering if we can put me on her loging names and then have me use it too.
