windows xp registration

[lena]

We just purchased Windows XP Proh and have two computers
in our household. Can we install the same CD on both of
them and register it twice? Is this a copyright violation?

One license, one computer.
The way it has always been with all Microsoft consumer operating
systems.
If you want Windows XP on the second computer, you need to buy a
second copy.

I was told that it could installed on two, my copy actually says 1-2 on the
package.
But who knows....

Lynn;
It says "1-2 CPU" NOT "1-2 Computers".
That means the computer can have either 1 or 2 CPUs, but it is still
one computer.
