I was told that I would have to buy a seperate license
to "legally" run the same disk of XP on both my work and
home computer. Can anyone verify if that is true? I
bought the program and put it on both and authorized it
from the work one but home on wont authorize and I really
dont think that it is fair to have to buy another license
for the same disk for both my computers. Anyone have any
info on that and what I can do?? Thanks
 
You have two choices.
1) The legal choice is to buy another copy of XP.
2) You can run XP on the second computer for 30 days. Wipe XP off of the
partition so that you can reinstall XP and all of your programs. Repeat in
30 days.

Yes it is. Windows has always been supplied as a license to use on one
machine per copy - not as something you can install on every machine
around. Abuse got out of hand - I have heard of one *law* office with
something like 15 machines and only one licensed copy between them -,
hence the Product Activation system to bring the point home
