Can you install Windows XP Pro on as many computers as you want?

I have a windows xp home cd and it only lets you put it on one computer, and you have to buy a key for the rest. What about Windows XP Pro? Can you install it on any number of computers without having to worry about getting differnet keys? Thanks

No and No. Well, I kind of worked around the system. I had some really old computers with Windows XP Home installed on them, since they had not been in service for... a while, I used the CDs that come with those systems to install their provided OEM CDs on my new systems... not exactly legal, not exactly illegal, gray areas and loopholes are fun! But if you don't have old computers sitting around not using their license keys, there isn't much you can do.

Now, my college used to provide site license Enterprise copies of Windows XP Pro to students for about $15, that's what I have now, I use it to install on all my systems, or used to, until the CD became physically damaged. Sadly, my college no longer supplies said CDs, they provide single licenses for about $80 (cheaper than retail but a far cry from what I was used to).

So... Windows XP Pro has the same license terms as Windows XP unless you buy the Enterprise version... which you can't... well, you can but it's about the same cost of a computer, if not more. The answer to both your questions is no... if you think this is bad... just wait until you learn what you can't do with Vista.
