Is it possible?

[@USA@]

Is it possible to install XP on more than one PC in the house. I have a
laptop and a desktop. One I travel with and the other stays at home. So I
can never use the two at the same time. It would be a pain to move the OS
back and forth. However, I don't want to purchase two copies either.
Thanks in advance.

It is possible but not "legal" to use one CD and license.
You can buy another license from MS, but it is usually less
expensive to just buy another copy from a discount on-line
retailer/wholesaler.

It has always been a requirement that you have a separate license for
the windows on each machine. It is only Office (retail) that has a
concession for desktop plus laptop. Buy another copy or do without
having it on both

It's not "illegal" either, until M$ proves it in court.

It is contrary to the provisions of the End User License Agreement,
which must be accepted before the software can be used.

Contravention of the license agreement, after having agreed to comply
with it, means that the person doing so is at least a liar and a
cheat; and it does not require a court to prove that.

Bullshit.

Go to any software store and buy WinXP.
Nobody is going to warn you that their are stipulations to the purchase or
use of the software.

Next open the package and begin to install the software.
When you come to the part where you must agree to the EULA, then stop.

Remove the CD from the drive, put the material back into the package and
return it to the software store to get a refund.

Fat ****ing chance. None of them will give you a refund. You must call MS
and beg for you money back and then only after you have sent them the
package and waited 60 days.

Agree to the EULA. Goddamn right. Then do to those bastards the same thing
they were trying to do to me.
