XP SP2 Update On Two PC's?
 
Hi. If Microsoft releases the XP SP2 update on CD for
just the $10.00 shipping and handling fee, can you put
one copy on two pc's? Or do you have to order two? Will
the XP SP2 Update CD have product activation? Thanks,
Craig.

Craig;
There is no activation with a Service Pack although it will check to
verify you have a valid Product ID.
You can install SP 2 on all your computer with one CD whether you buy
the CD or download from Microsoft and burn to CD.

Hi,
if the product key is valid/legal you can easily install on as many PCs
you wish.There is nothing to do with product activation.It's a service
pack only.

Yes, you can. The service pack does not have any limitations on the number
of computers it can be installed on. Basically, it's not a licensable
product, in that sense, since you can really only use it if you've already
got a licensed product.
