Is it possible to buy an addtional XP license?

Post by Enigma »

My father recently got a new computer and with it came Win XP MCE installed and has the CD. I was wondering if it is possible to purchase an additional license? How much does it cost?

Probably the same as a new copy costs. I think they only sell bulk licenses to businesses and schools.

You can buy a new license for around $30 less than a full copy.

That is only for home and Pro editions, not MCE.

Anyways, I just purchased one on Ebay. :P

'Bought' a license off ebay?

Since when do people sell legitimate software on eBay?
