As a new XP Pro user, now with 2 home computers, I've
posted quite a bit over the past week and have been very
grateful for all of the help that I've recevied. That
being said, I have another question, so here's some info -
Just purchased new system with XP Pro CD & Key. Need to
purchase another XP Pro key today for 2nd system (was
using Win98). Called my computer guy and this is what he
does:
He is an official Microsoft agent and so he is able to
sell full version CD and licence keys (I saw the shipment
arrive from Microsoft) without box that he gets straight
from Microsoft at a reduced price. He said I only need 1
CD (the one I already purchased for new computer), but I
will obviously need another licence key. Does this sound
right? I am going today and want to make sure that I get
everything that I need so that I don't have to go back to
his shop for another CD.
I really do trust him as he is quite knowledgeable and
doesn't hide anything - plus, he has a lot of
certifications on the walls (Microsoft, etc...) I know
that with XP the licence key and activation are very
important, so I just want to double-check on the process.
Thanks, Tiger
