Windows XP requires an individual license (Product Key) for
each installation on a different computer. Therefore, you will
need to purchase a new license for each additional installation
of Windows XP. However, you can use the same Windows XP
CD to install with a new Product Key.
In case you overlooked it:
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).
Go to Start >Run box type: WINVER , and hit enter. Then click on the
"End-User License Agreement" and read it. Your answer
lies in that agreement.
You can also open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and hit enter. Click on "Questions and answers about the EULA".
