While I believe I know the answer let me ask anyway. I just purchased Windows
XP and loaded it onto my laptop. Does anyone know if I can also load it onto
a desk top or two at home? I'm unable to find specific licensing information
on the Microsoft web page.

How about also loading it on 3 for your cousin and 2 for your uncle while
you're at it.

One copy/license = one computer. It's because of many people doing as you
would like to do that we have this damn activation mess now!

you can use you XP cd on just one computer...

Windows does not allow this.

However a copy of Microsoft Office is liscensed to your personal use. So you
could put it on your main desktop computer and the same copy on your laptop
(only like that) as it is assumed you will only be using one or the other. I
wish the OS was like this too, but alas it is not.

Activation should not be causing issues. It has never for me for the legit
copies of Windows XP that I manage.

Are you having some issue with this process that you require assistance
with?

It'll get worse. You'll have to pay a subscription fee every month for
your licence to use their software. Can't have MS losing value in the
stock market due to unprofitable generosity, now can we?

Just try the PA with the same license you already activated on a different PC.
