Got a question about licences of software....
For my A+ cert class we are each getting a free copy of pretty much every operating system from MS.
My specific question is, does it matter what edition I use if I own a licence to XP?
Like we have access to the volume editon, if i were to use that edition rather then the off the shelf type would it matter?
I own a licence to install XP because of the free copy of the off the shelf type, would it matter if i used that volume edition.
Just wondering if this is technically leagal or not.

Its the licence that matters, not the media or the install type, is it the same version of XP? If so, yer good

However, licence numbers are keyed to the os type. For instance XP Pro licences will not work with XP Pro SP1 media.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

both are XP Pro
one is a volume CD, no registration with MS
the other you have to register with MS
both keys are different
Does it really matter which I install as long as i have a licence for XP Pro, or is it per realease type?
