I have a legal, licensed copy of XP Pro. I installed it on one machine at work for my boss until he could get management to approve the purchase of their own copy. I have since then given the copy to a friend to install. We now have a license key for the XP machine here at work and my friend wants to install his copy. So being the impatient one that he is, he went ahead and did it. Of course Windows is complaining (which I told him it would).
Is there any way to swap the keys on the work machine with their new license or will I have to re-install it? I really don't want to do that since he has lots of data on there now.
