I may be wrong, but if memory serves me, you can in fact install Xp on more than one machine. This is allowed in the event your machine blows its mother board or processor. And even then, you just call the number presented on the screen, tell Microsoft your running your copy of xp on a new machine and they'll give you a new key. I did this, but I had an oem copy and my machine in fact was dead so it worked for me.
