Moving Windows Between Computers

[Davoud]

I have a (legal retail) copy of XP Pro SP2. It is currently running on
a MacBook Pro under Parallels.

I have the need to /remove/ Windows from the MacBook Pro and test it on
a number of other Intel Macs, both with Parallels and Bootcamp -- /one/
/installation/ /at/ /a/ /time/ .

Am I going to have trouble activating the software on various
computers; i.e., will it appear as if I am attempting to install the
same copy on a number of computer simultaneously?

I know that I can run my copy of XP Pro on any one computer I wish;
advice on how to move it around without giving the appearance of a EULA
violation would be appreciated.

Thanks

Since it's a retail copy, you can run it on whatever you like (presuming
it's only on *one* PC). If you can't do your activation over the internet,
you can call the phone number you see when trying to activate...it doesn't
take long.

All you have to do - likely - is activate the copy over the phone.
That is the worst case scenario given it is a Retail copy.

That is - since this is testing - if you even need to activate?
30 days not enough time for testing?
