Upgrading both of my PC's w\same Xp pro upgrade??

[Guest]

I have 1 PC i use for games(98se), and i have 1 that i use for other stuff(Millenium Edition)...do i have to buy two upgrades, or is there a way around this? i will greatly appreciate any thoughts on the subject. i guess it might be considered "soft-lifting" by MS, but i am the only 1 using either computer. thanks 4 the input mates)

Greetings mojo_04,

No, there is no way around this. You'll need to purchase one copy of XP for
each computer you own if you want to upgrade your machines to Windows XP.
For more information, see the Windows Product Activation (WPA) FAQ.
