Windows XP Pro - How many installs if I own the computers? How many times can I use the installation disc?

The full terms for the Windows XP Professional software can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/default.aspx The short answer to your question is: The copy of Windows XP Professional you own is only licensed for installation on one device at any given time.

Mine does not have the XP pro installed, and I do not know if it can be installed. Mine has Windows 7.

This is a 2 DVD disk set, one for 32 bit, one for 64 bit installation. A separate credit-card sized "Product Key" is included. Have not had time to install yet. Still running XP!

I installed one on my Windows 7 Pro system (upgraded from XP). It works just fine.

I believe they will be separate installs. I know I had 8, 9 and X installed on an older computer and they were all separate installs. You might be able to find an upgrade to X3 but I know the one I bought was the full program.

Mine didn't come with an Installation CD. My OS is Windows XP Pro. It was just Plug and Play...literally. I'm very pleased with it though. I'd suggest this to anyone.

What happens if I buy and install this, but later I upgrade my PC? Will it not let me install it again because it thinks it's a different computer?

Eee pc comes with a all the device drivers for xp, so if you have a xp installation cd/dvd and a usb dvd/cd drive then it will take a little longer the typical windows install.

The computer I purchased has Windows XP Professional (it was likely leased to a company before being refurbished). The seller did not include a Windows re-installation disk so I asked for one and it was provided free of charge. I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 if you have enough memory. I would check on the Microsoft website to see if it meets the upgrade criteria since Windows XP support ends April 14, 2014.

I don't know. I am just a very average user who had to update because Windows was no longer supporting XP

In my experience, you need only have an OEM Microsoft install disc to validate using the upgrade. It will ask you to insert it during install, and after checking the OEM, it will resume XP installation.

You can only install the software on one computer. if you have another computer, you'll have to purchase another copy

you can install it on how ever many computers you want...but the goodies are account bound. (P.S) I would highly recommend using the online downloader, the disks are SERIOUSLY outdated at this point.

It looks like an un-enforceable policy. If I can install the program in 3 different PCs, how do they expect to control the machines' ownership? Sounds odd to me.

Not quite sure what's preventing you from simply installing it as you did before. Unless you no longer have the requisite serial info or password to do so. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful. I can tell you that personally when I have had the need to install on a new computer and can't find either the disc or the info (which is almost always the case) I simply orflder a new one. The version I have isn't very costly and there are a number of places to find em. Good luck. Maybe you should ask a thirteen year old. I'm 50 and that's what I end up doing.

if you don't want to upgrade then you can do the double install. the first install chose a new install and do not enter the key. at the end of this you will be given 30 days to activate. run the disc again and this time chose upgrade and enter the license key. this is a work around issued by ms for people that could not upgrade such as having a 32 bit system and wanting a 64 bit new install

The license authorized use on one computer at a time. You can install it on two computers, but are licensed to use it on ONE COMPUTER AT A TIME. That is not a serious restriction, since I only use one at a time. I'm not a good enough multi-tasker to use several computers simultaneously. :-)
