Win XP Pro licensing

[fire400]

if you have a COA, would it be legal to install a corporate copy onto the system which contains a COA, using the corporate CD key instead of the COA CD key?

serious posters only please

Sure, as long as you or your company own the Corporate License and are within the paid-for license count. Most VLK licenses should be on boxes with COAs already present, since VLK licenses are, legally, Upgrade-only licenses.

If you don't own the Corporate License, then it's a violation of Microsoft's licensing rules.
