Hello,

You need to buy another license to be properly licensed.

You can use it only on the one registered, but I have a suggestion which most of my friends also use.
If you still have a copy of Win95/98/SE/ME around, install that on your 2nd PC.

Sorry, but you will have to buy another copy of XP. The rule is (and has
always been at Microsoft) - one computer per license.
