I got my new system all up and running, and I planned on using my XP disk from my first computer. I thought there was something in the license saying that you could install the OS on another computer providing you uninstall it on the original computer first.
So my question is, its been over a year since we've had XP on the family computer. However, the family computer is now on the other side of the country with the family lol. Can I activate that XP disk (which is loaded on that computer) on mine without uninstalling on the original? Or if I went online and activated the new one, would it give me some kind of message saying I'm illegally using the same copy on another computer or something. Can Microsoft know if you are using 1 OS disk on 2 different computers? I just really hope I don't have to spend another 100 bucks for XP.
