We have one laptop with Windows 98 and one with Windows XP
Home in our office -- can we buy one Windows XP
Professional upgrade and install it on both computers?
 
No, with every version of Windows you have been allowed to install it on ONE
PC and ONE PC only

So, our only option would be to buy two copies of the
software upgrade?

Taken from MS knowledge base:

Does MPA permit customers to install products on a portable computer and on a
desktop computer?

Consumers should use the terms of the product's EULA to determine if this is
permitted. In some cases, the Microsoft EULA permits customers who are the
primary users of Microsoft programs, such as Office and Word, to install one
additional copy on their portable computers for their exclusive use. This does
not apply to product licenses that are acquired with the purchase of a computer.
These OEM licenses are single-use licenses that cannot be transferred to another
computer. Windows XP can only be installed on a single computer. A new license
is required if you install and activate the product on a different computer.
