The connector on the laptop may be a LAN connection

Choose the option to activate by phone.
Call the displayed phone number, done in about 5 minutes.

If this is the same licence as your desktop, then you are in violation of
the EULA - just like every version of Windows since at least 3.1, it's one
licence *PER SYSTEM*.

And you don't need to register, it's entirely voluntary.

XP can only be activated on one system at a time. If it's already activated
on the desktop, having the right hook up for the laptop will be useless as
XP won't activate on that computer, activation will be rejected.

The others saw something I missed.
If Windows XP is installed on the desktop, you can not install that
same license on the laptop.
If you want Windows XP on two computers, you need to buy another copy.

If this is a different license, follow my first post.
