But what does any of this have to do with Bruce
Chambers oft-repeated but bogus claim that one wouldn't be in compliance with "COPYRIGHT LAWS" for installing software on more than one computer! If he would just say that one would not be in compliance with the EULA, that would be the truth, though that still wouldn't mean that a court would actually enforce it on individuals, if MS ever grew the balls to actually enforce their EULA on individuals by legal means thru the court system, but that's Contract Law. Bruce, or anyone else, has never found one US copyright law that an individual would not be in compliance with when installing the same copy of software on more than one computer! Or do you condone his repeatedly posting 218 times that which nobody has been able to prove, because there are no existing US copyright laws that prohibits an individual from installing the same copy of software on more than one computer?! Or is that how you MS-MVP's earn your free MSDN subscriptions by misrepresenting the truth for MS?! Or don't you know how to answer a question to begin with? -- Kurtis Kirsch [I bet Jupiter still ignores answering this valid post! Complaining about my sig, instead of try to counter my valid points, and to avoid answering my questions!] |

Rob; What you read is wrong. As with all consumer Microsoft OSs, one license, one computer. And you've read every single EULA, since the original Windows, right?! If you want Windows XP on both computers, you need to buy a second copy. Need! LOL! It is not relevant that you are home or business, small or large network etc. Actually, it is relevant under copyright law! It's just not relevent according to MS's interpretation of their own EULA, which is highly suspect to begin with, when it comes to private individuals, as I've already shown elsewhere in the thread! You will not be able to activate the second installation. What a line of bull! All the OP has to do wait 120 days, and his second installation will go through via the internet, as MS purges the PA data from the first installation after 120 days http://microscum.kurttrail.com/mmpafaq/mmpafaq.htm -- Peace!

Hi Rob, Thank you for the posting. As you indicated you want to install the same copy of Windows XP Pro on two computers of your home network. To answer your question. This is not recommended. To do so, you need to get "Microsoft Windows XP Additional License" Home Edition $89.10 Professional Edition $189 Under the Windows XP End-User License Agreement (EULA), you may install one licensed copy of Windows XP on one computer. If you need to install Windows XP on more than one computer that you own, you may qualify to purchase up to three (3) discounted additional licenses in one of the following ways. Purchase Online ============== To provide a better product experience for our customers and immediate access to additional licenses, Microsoft has partnered with participating online retailers in the U.S. to allow you to purchase and use a Windows XP license from the convenience of your home or small business. Here¡¯s how: 1. Enter either your current Windows XP Product ID or Product Key in the boxes below, and then click Submit. 2. You¡¯ll learn whether you qualify for an additional license as well as which license you qualify for--the full version or version upgrade. 3. Purchase your Windows XP Additional License Product Key for an additional license directly from a Microsoft-approved reseller. A Product Key is an electronic number that "unlocks" Windows XP and allows it to run. 4. After you purchase a Product Key, the key will be displayed on your screen and you'll receive a confirmation e-mail message that also contains the key Purchase at a Retail Store ======================= Microsoft has offered retailers in the U.S. and Canada the ability to sell additional licenses at a discount. If you own a licensed copy of Windows XP, and want to buy an additional license in packaged form, check with your local retailer. Purchase via Telephone ====================== Microsoft also offers an additional license service to customers who have legally installed Windows XP and have an immediate need for an additional license due to work stoppage or other unforeseen circumstance. In the U.S. and Canada, call the Windows Product Activation Call Center at 888-571-2048 for more information on how you can take advantage of this service. Hope the above information and suggestion helps and answers your question. If anything is unclear, please let me know. And this is what PA is all about, tricking people into buying more software than they legally need! -- Peace!
