I have a legit copy of Windows XP and key from my laptop. Tried to install it on my desktop and kept giving me a message - something - about registration / after 30 days it will not boot.
So it sounds like the key IS tied to a system.
Especially for a OEM key. I have an ACER laptop that came with XP. I tried to use the key to install windows elsewhere, and it did not like the media. The OEM key worked with the ACER restore version of windows that ACER supply with the PC, not a standard install CD. At least that is the conclusion I came to. Both CDs were genuine CDs. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
