Default Eula

If you read the EULA on a Full retail version it states that you can install it on 1 computer and 1 laptop, but only if both machines are owned by the person that owns the Full version of XP.

As for an OEM it can only be installed on one computer and can not legally be transfered to another computer. So, if you get rid of an old PC you can not install the OEM on anything else.

But then again who cares about the EULA.

In my opinion you should get rid of Windows and install Linux.

This topic has been covered many times. Please use the search engine to look through previous threads....

You cannot legally install the same copy of Windows XP on multiple machines without multiple licenses.
