I need to know if there is a way I can put windows xp pro on more than one computer. With the same disk.
Sure you can do it with the same disk...but you still have to have unique license Product keys in order to install activate-ible versions, in that they can’t be correctly activated if all are installed with the same number. If you did that you would be breaking the law, that’s pirating…Arrrrgggg shiver me timbers!
Is there a 30day registry countdown timer on windows XP pro, like there is on windows xp home? do you even have to register pro?
Yes and yes....Quote:

Mickenin, which web page link are you referring to?
What help do you still need?
Shouldn't that be depends & depends ? There's retail & there's OEM 'xp pro', with retail the answers are Yes & Yes, but for oem or corporate, the answers are no & no ?Quote:

& anyway do you even have to register ? I don't think you do, if you don't care about product support from them, activation is another thingee entirely ..
From here - Understanding activation and registrationQuote:
..During activation, you can also register your copy of Windows. Registration is not required; however registering your copy ensures that you receive product support, product update information, and other benefits..
But the problem is, you must activate; and you cannot activate a retail copy of Windows XP (Home or Pro) on more than one computer. It isn't allowed. The first copy will activate fine, the second copy will simply say that you have already activated that product key and must supply another.Quote:

Perhaps ghosting ? There's many ways if you are prepared to be 'inventive' .. :eek2:
where do I get a corporate or volume of windows xp pro or home CD. How do get around the 30day activation on windows xp home. I was also wondering if I could take the windows folder of a activated system and then switch it in with a un-activated system to stop the 30day activation.
You paypal me $200.00 and I'll send you an XP key. Home or pro, your choice.Quote:
