using xp serial number on multiple pcs

[Mannyx]

mannyx, what exactly did you do? did you use a pirated version of windows for the other laptops using the same serial key?

I used original xp home cd. Nagtry lang ako kung ivavalidate using the same cdkey sa laptop ng sister ko and voila, ok sya. Try it yourself. May nagsabi sa akin sa isang PC store na Microsoft allows 3 PCs sa isang licensed cdkey daw.I don't know if that's true kase I know its one pc one license policy nila.

No. Microsoft does not allow multiple PCs using the same serial number unless it's through their Open License program for Enterprise Editions of XP.

alam hanggang 3 activations lang yan... then wait ka muna ng ilang months bago ka mag activate ulit... pero you are following the EULA in that case.

minsan 3 minsan 2, pwede, pero bawal yun.
kaya kung gusto mo installan ang 100 computer lagyan mo nalang ng ubuntu.

for me, just my opinion, hindi laht pede, gaya ng sabi ni kopinux minsan pede ma load minsan hindi, one time na try ko yan sa original photoshop here in our office, nag work sa 2 pc but sa third pc at the 3rd time hindi na, validated for 3 or more pc are using the same serial number. kaya hindi na pumayag ang adobe company.
