[QUOTE="ViriiGuy, post: 767033, member: 48508"] Actually, according to the XP guys in my town... One of the activation centers and XP support centers are here.... Technically, you are allowed to use an OEM copy on another machine. So long as the original machine is defunct. It can only be on one machine at a time. There used to be a rule that OEM copies were limited to a single install and only on original hardware. But a lawsuit ended that a few years back. And now the XP is the Old OS, all OEM restrictions have been lifted. Again, they key is that the old hardware no longer exists. From MS, to me, to you. I can assure you I NEVER commit fraud at my shop. We will not even reinstall a pirated copy of an OS that the customer supplies. We make them buy a recycled license at the LEAST. Again, completely legal. [/QUOTE]
