I had an engineer load XP on a customers desktop with a copy that had
already been utilized. It will not allow us to activate it. We have a new
license for XP for this machine, but do not want to re-load the machine from
scratch. Is there a way to activate it with the new license that was
purchased but no used to load the system?

just keep in mind that (some) single user license keys and enterprise
license keys are not switchable (e.g. if you try to replace a single
user key with an enterprise key, it will error out).

We found this out when we tried to change some computers at work
using a newly acquired enterprise key. We ended up having to re-image
the drive using the new enterprise key/software.
