Can I use my XP Pro on a new PC?

Same reason you lock your car.

Locking my car has nothing to do with Windows XP.

It's been stated that WPA was intended to
reduce/prevent casual copying.

It is a fact clearly stated by MS that is the intended purpose of PA.

Car locks don't assume everone is
dishonest, or do you?

Car locks are incapable of making assumptions. Whether I lock my car or
not and why I do or don't isn't any of your concern and is irrelevant.

It is a service mostly to track your car, if stolen.

What has that got to do with it? I smell a straw man on fire back pedaling
on his tricycle.

One of the services, IIRC, is to get a copy of keys to you if you lock
them in the car or lose them.

Oh, and you have to ACTIVATE the service.
