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. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ wrote in message ... Hi.

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. regards, ssg MS-MVP pronetworks.org wrote: Hi.

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. -- Mike Kolitz MCSE 2000 MS-MVP - Windows Setup / Deployment wrote in message ...
