I was wondering if i could install a copy of XP that i have on two different computers. I heard that you can call microsoft and get an extra serial number or something to that extent. Is this true?

Thanks,
Justin

Technically, you could.

MS does sell CD keys over the phone give them a call and you will sleep better at night.

You will be breaking the EULA if you do so. You can call M$ and see what options they give you, they should work with you fairly well. Illegal use of software is not allowed to be discussed here, other than saying that you are not allowed to do that. Calling M$ and getting the offers from them would be the stand up thing to do.

Hey thanks for the replies. I wasn't expecting the type of replies given. I was in no way implying of breaking any laws whatsoever. Im willing to pay any additional fees for an extra cd key. Thanks again
