XP Pro on more than 1 home computer

Thanks for all replies (except of course the sarcasatic
ones! As a teacher I find it extremely rude how some
people on here reply to messages with such biting sarcasm
and rudeness. A little knowledge goes a long way, and as
a new XP user, I am know totally in the know about the new
security/piracy rules since some of you were kind enough
to take the time to answer my question. Thanks! Some of us
on here are just in search of honest answers to our
questions (as I was). I am off to purchase another copy
of XP Pro for my second computer today.

Thanks, Tiger

You must purchase a copy of XP for each machine you wish
to install it on.
With the exception of corporate settings where you get a
license to install
some certain number of copies of the OS on some certain
number of machines.

My computer crashed last week with Windows XP Pro on
it -
my former computer tech loaded Windows XP Pro into it.
So,
we got a new computer with brand new Windows XP Pro. We
now have 2 computers networked together in our home, and
so as we installed our new Windows XP Pro into the old
computer tonight, we got an error message saying that we
had already installed this particular version.

I totally understand piracy rules and the like (we buy
all
of our programs), but I thought that Windows XP was like
old versions of Windows in that you could use it at home
on several computers. Anyone have any suggestions for
us?
We can't afford to buy another Windows program as we
just
spent a ton of money on our new computer, plus a few
small
upgrades to get the old computer up and running. Plus,
our
other version of Windows that we paid for last year is
in
our crashed hard drive! The only other version that I
have at home is Windows 95 and that is not an option as
I
have tons of digital photos and movies of the baby that
I
work with.

Please help, Tiger
