Scott;
Yes, as long as you remove it from the first computer.
As with a all consumer operating systems, Windows XP is licensed for
only one computer.

Can i purchase other licenses for XP pro?

Yes as long as original is retail and not OEM:

Savings is minimal.

Greetings --

Assuming a retail license (OEM licenses are not transferable),
simply remove WinXP from the computer it is currently on, and install
it onto the new one. If it's been more than 120 days since you last
activated that specific Product Key, you'll most likely be able to
activate via the Internet without problem. If it's been less, you
might have to make a 5 minute phone call.

Here are the facts pertaining to activation:
