Transfer License to another PC

[Guest]

I cannot find the link, but I saw it once in MS. Is there a way to transfer
the license off of one PC to another PC.? The old PC will be destroyed.

How do I deactivate, move to another computer or sell a previously activated
XP?

Provided it was a retail copy of XP, and not one of the OEM ones, either
preinstalled or on a disk 'for supply only with a new computer' you may
transfer - those you may not

For a retail one, just go ahead and install: When it comes to
activation, if it is more than 120 days since you last did it, you will
find it will go through on the net just like first time. If not, you
will have to phone a toll-free number that will be given, to explain and
swap one long number for another to check back as you type it in

Assuming a retail license (OEM licenses are not transferable),
simply remove WinXP from the computer it is currently on and sell,
donate, or install it on a new PC. If it's been more than 120 days
since you last activated that specific Product Key, the new owner will
most likely be able to activate via the Internet without problem. If
it's been less, he/she might have to make a 5 minute phone call.

Here are the facts pertaining to activation:
