HI

I currently use XP Home. I need to have user level security and hence want to move to XP Pro. Can I transfer the XP Home to another system currently running 98 and install Pro on this one

Would this violate any licencing policy

Thank
Ramesh
 
Hello
If the XP Home is an OEM version then it is tied to the computer it is on,
if it is a retail version then you can transfer it as many times as you wish
as long as you uninstall first (one license = one computer), if you transfer
it and try to activate it within 120 days of activating the last time then
you will have to activate by phone, (which takes about 5 minutes)
