We just bought the latest windows software system. If we
own two computers can I add this software on the other
computer?

Read the EULA, "end users license agreement". NO, you cannot. You will not
be able to activate on the second machine.

LOL, JAX

Hi,

One copy per machine, such is the license. If you want to purchase a second
license for the other machine, see:

No, of course not.

As it has *always* been with *all* Microsoft operating systems,
it's necessary (to be in compliance with both the EULA, if not
technically) to purchase one WinXP license for each computer on which
it is installed. The only way in which WinXP licensing differs from
that of earlier versions of Windows is that Microsoft has finally
added a copy protection and anti-theft mechanism, Product Activation,
to prevent (or at least make more difficult) multiple installations
using a single license

No. The rule is quite clear. It's one copy (or one license) for
each computer.

There's nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that's
been in effect on every version of Windows starting with Windows
3.1. The only thing new with XP is that there's now an
enforcement mechanism.
