Can the same Windows XP software be setup on two
different computers? I'm not sure because when windows is
installed, it says that it has to be activated.

Windows XP requires a separate license (Product Key) for each
installation on a different computer. Otherwise, Product Activation
will fail on the second computer installation. So, you need to purchase
a new license (Product Key) for another installation.

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. You will
need a new license (Product Key) for each new
installation on a different computer.

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