If you have two vehicles, can you use just one registration?
When you take your wife out to dinner, do you pay for her meal,
or is it buy one - get one free?
Windows XP requires an individual license (Product Key) for
each installation on a different computer. Therefore, you wÂill
need to purchase a new license for each additional installatÂion
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 statementÂ:
"For installation and use on one computer"
(see License Agreement for license terms).
Go to Start >Run box type: WINVER , and hit enter. Then cÂlick 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 EUÂLA".

| Do I have to buy a seperate copy of Windows Xp for each computer I own? I
| loaded it on my laptop and on 2 of my computers at home. They all require

| got to be kidding if I have to spend over $100 a piece to load these on my
| personal computers inside my home.
