Managing OS & MSOffice Licences

Hi,

we have nearly 60 computers. When i started to work there was no license
management. Now I want to collect product key & ID infomartions from the CDs
and computers.
My questions: I have "XP Pro System Builder" CDs and many other "XP Pro
Genuine" CDs. I want to install and change them on all workstations where
Win2000 is installed. The admin before me has sticked the certificate of
authenticity and Product Key stickers on the backside of the CD covers. They
aren't installed anywhere, so can I use them and install them legally?

And can I install a "XP Pro OEM" on a different PC, when the old PC is out
and not any mor useable. Or is it to be used just with the PC it was sold
with?

Thank You all...

Khan
