I recently bought a new copy of windows XP pro sp2, to install on the computer i am on right now. my question is can i use the same disc and lic. code in another computer i'am building for my family's use?

no, you can only nstall it on one computer... ( so you can install it on your new computer if you remove it from your old computer.)
