A Windows XP license can only be used once on one
(1) computer. A second installation requires a second
license, even if its installed on the same computer.
From the Windows XP EULA:
1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access,
display and run one copy of the Software on a single
computer, such as a workstation, terminal or other
device ("Workstation Computer"). The Software may not
be used by more than two (2) processors at any one
time on any single Workstation Computer.
Please read your End-User License Agreement by going
to Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter. Then
click on "End-User License Agreement".
If you already have a retail copy of Windows XP, you can obtain
additional licenses for another computer or laptop by visiting the
following Microsoft Web site:

:
| I want to create a dual boot on my XP Pro machine - one boot for normal use
| and one with only Photoshop installed for scanning large photos more
| efficiently.
|
| I know how to do this but am unsure if the XP licence permits me to use THE
| SAME LICENCE for both boots. Obviously only one can be used at a time and it
| is the same machine & hardware configuration.
|
| Can anyone clarify the legals on this please.
