Solve : Checking Xp VS Other Install Keys? |
|
Answer» If you have like one copy of xp and have an key to it can you use another key and use it to INSTALL on another machine?Can you rephrase your question please?If you have a copy of xp with its key and you have a key for another one will it work? I done this with xp not sure if its still the same. If you have a copy of xp with its key and you have a key for another one will it work? I done this with xp not sure if its still the same. Yes, I presume any XP key that isn't activated will work on any XP machine.If it's a key for XP Home, you have to have a copy of XP Home. if it's a key for XP Pro, you have to have XP Pro to install.One key...one machine. But you'll find out soon enough if that key has been used,I was making sure that still worked or seeing if it wasnt going to look for that one key.can one disk be different then another?Yes. But his information is not SOMETHING the most users would need to know. If you buy a volume LICENSE from Microsoft, you get one CD and 25 product keys for your company. The keys will work fine for that one CD. But you should not expect them to work with another CD. Maybe they would. Maybe not. May I ask why this question comes up? Did you buy product keys without media? Just curious. I have not been able to use keys and CDs of different sources. I don't know how you can tell. thats not what i ment like the files being installed that is. If you have two dir would they be the same? Exatly like C:my documents/bob C;/my documents/bob I know theres differnce between home an pro. Is that the same with like pro like is there differnt coppies or all they the same in such like you dont get any new programs when you install a newer made copy of xp.There are only 2 things that MATTER : A) The key must be valid. B) The key NEEDS to match the version it's being used on...an XP Home key will not work on PRO and vice-versa... That being said all XP CD's are the same ...at least version to version. Unless they are OEM CD's such as HP, Toshiba etc.ah okay wait i think that may come into play. |
