license compatibility from XP to 2000

[Guest]

I currently have 20 PC's running windows XP Pro (OEM purchased with the
Computers) For an up coming event my customer requested that we load windows
2000 on the machines. If i currently have XP pro running on the machines
will I have to purchase a brand new license to load windows 2000 on them? Is
it possible for me to just purchase the windows 2000 media and load on all 20
machines since XP is backwards compatible with 2000 ( i think its backwards
compatible )

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
