Ok, I am going to upgrade two of my computers to xp. Do i need to buy an xp package for each computer, or can I just legally use one package to upgrade both of them?
You would have to purchase two extra copies. They woulnd't let you do Volume Licencing for 3 Computers even if you wanted to do that. Maybe you could find somebody with an unlicenced version of XP? Try the Friday Ad?
Windows XP will deactivate in 31 Days if you don't register. Iamroot may have been lucky but eitherway its not worth trying; after 31 days you can get up a lot of stuff you don't want to loose.
It doesn't matter with SP2 really; only 2 years for Longhorn at which point Pirate Copies will finally be a thing of the past. And Pirates have been able to download updates forever anyway.
