Re: Am I supposed to buy 2 copies of XP?

XP will only Activate on ONE computer. One copy of XP= one computer.

I have two home computers. One I used often, the other is just for
storage and works as a spare in case my main system is being upgraded
or repaired. I have XP on one machine, and Win98 on the other. If I
install XP on the win98 machine, am I supposed to buy a second copy,
or can I legally use the same one since it's licensed to me. I know
that businesses must buy one copy for each terminal, but what about a
home computer used only by myself. Is XP licensed to "ME" or is it
only licensed to my one computer?
