Just upgraded a PC to Vista Business; the license is an upgrade. Does is
still "tie" the original XP Pro license to the PC, or can I use it on
another PC or laptop?

TIA,
You paid for ONE license, you only get to use the software on ONE
pc!!! And upgrade is just that, it is NOT permission to use the old
software on any other machine.

What a load of tosh.
Of course you can use the other original xp pro on another machine.
I know it states that you are only supposed to use it on one PC, but Microsoft, even though they can be a pain in the rear, are not bothered about you installing it on another pc you own. Just install the dam thing and don't worry about it
