Installing XP on two comps?

External Since: Mar 03, 2005 Posts: 1

I have Windows XP Pro Academic Version that came preinstalled on my laptop,
but the CD and CD key were given to me. Can I install this CD onto a
computer that I am building (meaning it will have nothing on it)? This will
have one product key running on two machines. Will I run into any problems
if I do this? Or should I buy another CD? I also want to ask the same
questions for Office XP Academic Version. (I'm pretty sure the academic
version doesn't make any difference anyway). Thanks for your help.

Technically - it will pobably work.
According to what you agree to when you install/use it - you are breaking
your agreement.
