Re: Using/Installing Wn XP on more than one computer

Hi

Thanks for your reply and information. Do the rules of activating just one computer also apply if one purchased XP/Home for students and teachers separately (OEM, under the student provision, built my own computer) and what of the senario of the original computer going bad and using the OS on ones next computer, not both? Thanks.



You'll have to read the specific EULA that comes with your specific license for a definitive answer.

If memory serves, I believe that the Academic (Student and Teacher) license permits the simultaneous installation of the OS on up to 3 separate computers, so long as the student/teacher is the owner and primary user of all 3 computers. The Academic license is also transferable from one computer to another, so long as the license holder still qualifies (iow, is still a student/teacher.) Naturally, the Academic license "expires" once the student graduates/drops out, and should be replaced by another license. (To my knowledge, Microsoft has no way of enforcing this, and relies entirely upon the honesty of the former student.)

Also, I've never heard of an OEM Student/Teacher license. Are you sure that's what you purchased? If there really is such a license type, you'll have to read the EULA.
