Xp home edition

[Bell48111]

Can you use your xp home edition cd on more than one
computer in your home or do you need to buy an edition for
every computer? I have three and enjoy the windows xp on
just one and would like to know if i can use the cd on
more than one.

You have to buy 2 other licesens. One disk per computer.

(--User opion do not take seriously--)
Now that that is said the way you are putting it is yes
you can use the xp disk on more then one computer the
only problem is that you need two different keys.
Microsoft could care less how many times you use a single
cd but its the licenses that you have to buy to use it on
more then one computer. Well thats the way i see it..

--But heck what do I know I'm just 15--

To clarify - since WinXP is an 'activation' product, you won't be able to
use the same CD and cd keys or it will not let you activate it.

You need a license to run the OS for each computer.

You can't buy licenses only for such a small number of computers, AFAIK -
go out & buy two more retail copies of WinXP.

You go to a store and buy two copies of Windows XP.

ok then where do i get the two more keys or licenses from

You can get supplementary licenses at a small discount at

but it will probably be cheaper to buy regular copies at a discount
store
