Additional Licenses for Windows XP Home Edition

The following is a direct paste of the information on the Microsoft site regarding the purchase of additional licenses once you have a purchased CD:

Contrary to the direct statement in a previously locked topic, such a sale by a vendor and such a use by a licensed XP OS user is not a violation of the EULA.

The thread should not have been locked as sooin as a know it all (wrong) tooted off to allow for a clarification as to the legality.

Windows XP Home Edition is available as a full product or as an upgrade from Windows 98/Windows 98 SE or Windows Me. Under the Windows XP End-User License Agreement (EULA), you may install one licensed copy of Windows XP on one computer. Microsoft has offered retail partners in the U.S. and Canada the ability to sell additional licenses at a discount. If you own a licensed copy of Windows XP, check with your local retailer or order additional licenses from shop.microsoft.com.

Microsoft also offers an additional license service to customers who have legally installed Windows XP and have an immediate need for an additional license due to work stoppage or other unforseen circumstance. In the U.S. and Canada, call the Windows Product Activation Call Center at 888-571-2048 for more information on how you can take advantage of this service.
