Can I use my XP Pro on a new PC?



I have an older computer that came with Windows 98se. I then bought a full
XP Pro CD and did a clean install on my computer. I'm thinking of getting a
new computer that only comes with XP home, but I would like to put my XP Pro
on the new computer. The old PC would be junked out so no one would be
using the XP Pro with it. Will MS let me install it on a new PC without
charging me since it will still only be on 1 computer?
