XP Pro on many PC's?

[Ali Aitken]

I have a small business and have chosen XP pro, but can i
install it on my 3 pc's? Can you activate 3 times? Or is
it one copy for one machine? Im worried that after 30
days only one PC will be useable.

Cheers
Ali

One copy per machine. Check with your software vendor for volume licensing
options to possibly save your self a few bucks.

Read your Windows XP End-User License Agreement:

Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter.

It clearly states that you may only install one (1) copy
of Windows XP on just one (1) computer.=20

Also, open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and click on "Questions and Answers about the
End User License Agreement".

One licence one machine - same as it's always been since the dawn of MS -
only now it's enforced. If it's an OEM licence it can only be installed on
the system it was purchased with.
