Windows XP Pro Corporate

There is no such thing as "Windows XP Pro Corporate"
That often what pirated Volume License versions are called.
If that is what you have, you can not install it at all, much less on
several computers.

Exactly what do you have?
 
no unless you have the licensing to do so.
and usually corp licensed editions are install
by the company's administrator
 
Oh, and he said that when you buy 5 licences for XP Pro, you get this
version - whatever it's called
 
From the MS site, it seems like it's the Corporate Deployment Tools, or
something like that.

If you have a 5 user volume license then you can install on up to 5
computers - no more.

And when you purchase a volume license you normally have to agree to
allow onsite audits of your licensing compliance. Which can be a
nightmare, because *all* software licenses are normally included in
the audit.

Ok, I'll ask him about what it is, licences etc.

Hello all,

Is it legal to install XP C. edition on several computers?

Well, it certainly can't be illegal, as there's no such thing. There
is no such thing as WinXP "Corporate Edition." That is a term applied
exclusively to pirated (iow, stolen) copies of the Volume Licensed WinXP
Pro by the "warez" aficionados. If you're considering buying software
from someone using that term, you'd be wise to take your business
elsewhere.

It's a Volume License, not a Corporate Edition. By mistakenly using that
term you have been assumed guilty of using a pirated version of XP.
Careful what you say around here, the self-appointed software police are
everywhere.

No one really knows what the OP has.
But you seem to assume the OP has a Volume License.
That may be the case, but when incorrect terminology is used to begin with,
there are many other possibilities.
Windows XP Pro has often been called "Corporate" simply because of the word
"Professional"
That is why the OP was given information to help determine exactly what it
is.

But if you would read Carey's entire post, you will see Carey does not make
the assumption otherwise he would not have added this line "Is your version
of Windows XP genuine?
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/ww/windows/default.mspx"
Carey as well as others gave the OP information necessary to help determine
if the OS is legitimate.
If you consider helping others determine legitimacy of the license being
"self-appointed software police " you may have a problem of your own.

You on the other hand simply redefined "Corporate" and insulted others with
no real information of value.

By the description of the license the OP gave.

I read it. The tone is condescending in the 1st sentense:

"The answer is no!"

Why does the question even come up by "default" everytime? It presents
the appearance that everyone who asks anything about installing Windows
on more than one computer is assumed to be pirating the software and are
treated "accordingly". That's my point.
If you consider helping others determine legitimacy of the license being
"self-appointed software police " you may have a problem of your own.

Oh, trust me, I have many problems of my own, but they're all off-topic.

What I gave was of value; the OP has described a Volume License release
of XP.

All you give is more accusation...
Who did I insult? Carey Frisch? I call him names I percieve he lives up
to here. Not as insult especially, but more as result of observation.

I apologize if I inadvertently offended _you_ by intimating that _Carey_
is an idiot (and I honestly think he is sometimes), but I thought the
link was funny, and he may even get a kick out of it. I hope so, I sure
did. I never post links I don't check out first and keep updated on,
unlike Mr. Frisch.

And why do _you_ feel the need to defend Carey? Because of his MVP
title? I would presume that he's quite capable of defending himself,
should he so choose.

down :). Didnt sound legal anyway.
