info about Microsoft Genuine Advantage Kit

[RiccardoErre]

hello all..

i have this question (oh, sorry for my bad english, first). i had a pc
without an original copy of windows xp. i bought from microsoft on line
a windows genuine advantage kit. this is an original copy of windows xp
professional. now, the question is: my pc has become old, and i changed
it. now, i have to assembly it, and the question is if i can use my copy
of xp advantage kit on new machine. is it like a retail license? it have
to be legal, for a shop. not for personal use. i need to be right with
controls.

Yes, but the license can be *transferred* to another machine, so long as it
is removed from the previous machine. Just like a retail license, not like
an OEM license, correct?
