Swapping licenses

As briefly as I can:
Have PC with OEM WinXP Home installed (over one year ago)
Have laptop with "full" (ie: not upgrade) version of XP Pro (bought
seperately, installed over 1 year ago)
Laptop now beyond repair.
Need Pro on PC now, not possible to wipe PC clean.
Would like Home on a new laptop, if I bought one (without OS).
So, if I install Pro version over OEM, obviously the Pro license number
would replace the Home version, but if I then installed Home on any other
laptop, is that going to cause problems?
In fact, is installing Pro (full) over Home (OEM) going to cause probs?
It's not that I don't actually have the data backed up, but it's taken
months of tweaks and updates and configs etc to get all the graphics cards,
tablet, capture card etc etc working the way I want, and I so don't want to
spend literally days doing all this again!
