Yes. You can install Windows XP on as many different computers you want. You don't need to use separate product keys; the same one will work for all of them.

A windows XP disk is just that, a disk. It can be used to intall XP on as many computers as you want. The product key(assuming it is not a corporate key, which can be used multiple times) can only be used once to activite each computer. So while you can usse the same disk to install the program, you will need two seperate keys.

you should only use the windows xp u bought only on one system otherwise its illegal but to be honest i am using pirated vista too

so its ur choice ,many people say to me that karma will eventually take the toll on me but i don't really have a choice ,i can't pay 17000rs(indian currency)(400$ US) to buy such a bugfull operating system

Yes you can use the same disc on two different computers, but you would need different product keys for each computer you use it on.

You can use a single CD once unless you paid for a multi-use license.

Otherwise, you will have to buy a new CD if you need one.

Windows XP is single i.e. one one computer, so no you can't (unless you do it illegally)

yes you can use a different product key on a windows xp disc but this has to be authorised by microsoft first otherwise it won't work
